Pierre Andrey
Metz, Lorraine
Pierre Andrey is a unique vigneron based in the northern French city of Metz. Working a small parcel of vines near his home, and working closely with a few organic growers in Alsace, Beaujolais and Jura, he is producing some of the most considered, pure and intriguing wines we have ever tasted.
Aside from an incredibly selective hand in the vineyard his methods in the winery are what some would consider unusual — he vinifies every wine in 50 litre glass demijohn. To say these are rare would be a bit of an understatement, each wine bottled is an individual demijohn, meaning that no one else in the world will have the same cuvée as the ones bottled for us. Each bottling is a limited release of around 66 bottles.
These are wines that are both explorations of terroir and a showcase of expression that can be achieved through the Andrey method, of which he is notoriously secretive. Truly special, and extremely limited, we couldn’t be happier to be sharing a few of these wonderful bottles.
