Eric Kamm Pinot Noir Anarchie 2020

Pinot Noir Anarchie is a natural red wine from Domaine Jean-Louis et Eric Kamm, based in the medieval fortified village of Dambach-la-Ville in the Bas-Rhin, Alsace. The vineyards sit at approximately 500 meters above sea level on multiple parcels of volcanic granite — soils that decompose into a coarse sandy gravel called arène granitique — on the eastern slopes of the Vosges mountains. This elevation and granite base drive the wine's characteristic minerality and bright acidity.

Eric Kamm took over the family domaine in 2005 from his father Jean-Louis, converting the 6.5-hectare estate to certified organic farming and eliminating herbicides, synthetic products, and chemical fertilizers. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts only, with no temperature control. The wine is made with zero added sulfites, and is neither fined nor filtered.

The Anarchie label sits within Kamm's natural wine lineup, which pushes further than the domaine's conventional range in terms of zero-intervention winemaking. The combination of granite soils, high-altitude viticulture, and a no-additions cellar approach produces a Pinot Noir that leans toward freshness and mineral tension over body and extraction.
