2022 Maison Glandien (Tino Kuban) , La Cruci

2022 Maison Glandien La Cruci is a distinctive natural red from Burgundy that showcases both precision and personality. Made by Tino Kuban under the Maison Glandien label, it offers the kind of purity, freshness, and mineral drive that make this style so appealing to lovers of artisanal French wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it presents a bright, vivid red-fruited profile with a clean and lively appearance that hints at freshness rather than heaviness. The nose opens with ripe red berries and cherries, layered with subtle stony, mineral notes that give the wine a cool, elegant edge. On the palate, La Cruci is crisp and finely textured, with a striking balance between juicy fruit and energetic acidity. The finish is clean and transparent, leaving behind a sense of aromatic purity and a gently savory, mineral impression. It is a wine best enjoyed for its freshness and immediate charm, though it may gain additional nuance over the next few years.

Production
Produced in Bourgogne, this natural red reflects a terroir-driven approach that emphasizes freshness, tension, and purity. The wine’s stony mineral character suggests a vineyard site with a strong limestone influence, while the balanced structure points to careful harvesting and a restrained vinification aimed at preserving delicate aromatics and bright acidity.

Food & Serving
Serve this wine slightly chilled, around 14-16°C, to highlight its freshness and aromatic lift. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, charcuterie, grilled vegetables, mushroom dishes, and lighter game, and can also work well with salmon or tuna when served in a more Pinot-friendly style. Decanting is not essential, but a brief aeration can help the wine open up if served young.

Producer
Maison Glandien is the project of Tino Kuban, a producer associated with thoughtful, natural winemaking in Burgundy. The house has built its identity around small-scale wines with clear terroir expression and a modern, understated style, contributing to the growing reputation of Burgundy’s newer artisanal producers.
