About the maker:

We’re immensely proud to have been importing Vanessa Letort’s wines since early 2021. A native of Brittany, Vanessa moved to Alsace, setting up and developing Les Vins Pirouettes with Christian Binner.

After more than 6 years experience there, Vanessa was then ready for the next step; founding Du Vin aux Liens – a collective of natural winemakers from Alsace and Loire Valley, including Albert Hertz and Yannick Meckert, both from Alsace and La Table Rouge (Loire). Not only does she collaborate with them, she also produces different cuvées of her own. 

Furthermore, in conjunction with her friend Naoufel Zaïm and partner Farid Yahimi, a collaborative venture named Domaine de la Légèreté was established in Bulligny, in the Lorraine region. They procured a hectare of land in the village of Bulligny in 2019, and subsequently added 3.5 more hectares in Lucey in 2021. Anticipation is growing for the arrival of their inaugural bottles in the UK.
