Acratus 2022 - Stéphane Cyran

Acratus - Stéphane Cyran 

Acratus by Stéphane Cyran is a red wine from Lorraine, made with Pinot Noir grapes. The vinification involves a short maceration of 8 days, followed by aging in concrete tanks, which contributes to its freshness and the maintenance of fruity purity. This wine has an aromatic profile characterized by crunchy fruits, accompanied by fine tannin which gives great elegance to the palate. Although it can be enjoyed now, Acratus has interesting aging potential, promising to reveal further nuances and complexities for those who choose to cellar it. It is a wine that perfectly expresses the Lorraine terroir and the distinctive character of Pinot Noir, ideal for those seeking a refined and satisfying sensorial experience.

Cellar: Stéphane Cyran

Stéphane Cyran's cellar represents a fascinating example of how passion and care for the land can transform even a little-known wine region like Lorraine into an emerging reality in the French wine scene. The vineyard extends over an area of ​​1.5 hectares which allows Stéphane to dedicate himself completely to each individual bunch, reflecting a production philosophy that favors sustainability and authenticity. The vines, planted in clay soils, benefit from traditional processing techniques, which include the use of manual and horse-riding methods, highlighting Stéphane's attention to respect for the environment and the quality of the fruit he produces. This attention translates into an equally meticulous approach in the cellar: the winemaking takes place with macerations in whole bunches, without the addition of additives, thus allowing the characteristics of the local terroir and the cultivated varieties, such as Pinot Noir and the Gamay. Furthermore, the creation of the "Le Deuxième Soufflée" line expanded Stéphane's opportunities, as he was able to collaborate with local winemakers in Lorraine and Alsace to experiment with new varieties and winemaking techniques. This initiative not only enriches its offer, but allows it to highlight the potential of the region and contribute to changing the perception of Lorraine as a wine-growing area. With global warming affecting winemaking conditions in France, Lorraine could become an increasingly attractive location for winemakers and wine enthusiasts. In this context, Stéphane Cyran is certainly blazing an innovative and sustainable path, helping to build a promising future for viticulture in his region.
