Zind Chardonnay - Auxerrois 2020
Alsace permits 5 varieties, and Chardonnay isn't one of them! Hence Zind's Vin de France status. However, in the hands of this 'genius' 400-year-old family estate, it makes a fine, fresh white, expertly blended with Auxerrois (very like Pinot Blanc).
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

They now have 40 hectares, all tended biodynamically – by 22 full-time staff – to express as perfectly as possible the grape and its limestone ‘calcaire’ terroir. Most of their wines are exceptional single varietal wines, but Zind is different. It comprises Chardonnay (rare) with Auxerrois, both grown in the western part of the region.
