Vanessa Letort is what in France they call “négociant”: she does not own vineyards, but buys her grapes from winegrowers who are committed to produce in the most sustainable way possible. All of them practice organic and biodynamic viticulture. No chemicals in the vineyards, or in the wine cellar. The fermentations and vinifications are spontaneous and as natural as possible, in order to let the grapes express the intrinsic qualities of the terroir through the care of the winemaker.
From 2014 she gathered some important experiences, for example while working with one of the biggest names of the Alsatian natural wine scene, Christian Binner, and in the end of 2019 she decided to create Du Vin aux Liens, a natural wine trade that embraces Alsace, Loire and elsewhere, with the participation of local and passionate winegrowers and artisans.
Du Vin aux Liens is a space for Vanessa and her partners to create and experiment in wine-making.
We have been instantly magnetized by her energy and creativity, that is mirrored by each one of her bottles.
