Yannick Meckert, a rising star in Alsace, launched his winemaking venture in 2020 in Rosheim, farming 3.5–4 hectares of biodynamic vineyards on clay-limestone, volcanic sandstone, and blue slate soils. Born to a Burgundian mother and Alsatian father, Yannick studied viticulture-oenology in Beaune and Montpellier but rejected conventional methods at his family’s estate. Instead, he trained with natural wine luminaries like Philippe Pacalet, Patrick Meyer, Claus Preisinger, Christian Binner, and Terada Honke (sake in Japan).

His wines, including Charlotte aux Vignes (Gewurztraminer), Deux Couleurs Rouge (Pinot Noir-Pinot Gris), and Une Couleur Bleu (Pinot Noir), are made with whole-cluster maceration, native yeasts, no sulfites, fining, or filtration, and 1–2 years of aging in oak, fiberglass, or amphorae. Yannick also sources organic grapes from friends and co-owns a small Pinot Noir plot in Burgundy’s Hautes-Côtes with Bastian Wolber. His biodynamic practices avoid tractors, copper, and sulfur, using clays, essential oils, and plant infusions, inspired by Jules Chauvet’s sulfite-free philosophy
