The Auxerrois grape produces accessible, understated white wines. They are smooth, without excessive acidity, and almost always come from Northern Europe.
The Auxerrois has nothing to do with the French city of Auxerre. It originates in Alsace, where it has likely been grown for centuries. Yet, winemakers there rarely put it on bottle labels. They usually blend it with other grapes to create what's known as Eldelzwicker. A few make a sweet version.
You can also find Auxerrois in Luxembourg, Germany—primarily in Baden and the Palatinate—and even the Netherlands. There, winemakers tend to press only Auxerrois wine. You won't find it further south than Baden, Germany. Auxerrois thrives in cool climates because its acidity isn't too strong.
We currently have one wine made from the Auxerrois grape in our range. You can view our Auxerrois wine here.
