Bastian Wolber

A winemaker between German rigor and Burgundian expression

Although Bastian Wolber was born in Germany , he learned his trade in France. Working with, among others, Jean-Marc Dreyer , Rudolf and Rita Trossen , Jean-Yves Bizot and Jean-François Ganevat , Bastian was able to observe, understand and experiment. After that, he decided to return to Germany to make his own wine in the production of his brother who owns the Wasenhaus estate.

We meet Bastian Wolber during a joint tasting at the winery that he shares with Jon Purcell (Vin Noé) , Dandelion and Chris Santini .
It was in this cellar in Auxey-Duresses , one winter evening in 2020, that we discovered his first wines: Gamay , Riesling , Chardonnay and Pinot Noir .
It was love at first sight, and we were quickly certain that we were meeting one of the most promising winemakers of the young Burgundian guard.

A demanding vision, from Volnay to the Côte Chalonnaise

He later moved to Volnay to be able to work as he wished.
Since 2022, Bastian has devoted himself full-time to his winemaking activity and is gradually acquiring a few Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines , through leasing and trading. He is thus offering numerous vintages for the 2022 vintage from vines in the Côte de Nuits , Côte Chalonnaise , and other beautiful corners of Burgundy .

Precise, balanced and inspired natural wines

Bastian 's work combines rigor and a certain classicism .
Trained at the Bizot and Ganevat schools, the wines are aged entirely in barrels of several wines . The reds are made from whole harvests for our greatest pleasure. The wines are precise , balanced and harmonious . The level that Bastian has quickly managed to reach impresses us and persuades us in our first impressions.
