Terroir & Vineyards

Currently, the concept of terroir does not apply to non-alcoholic wines, although it is something Pierre Chavin hopes to establish in the future. While technology is still evolving in non-alcoholic wine production, particularly regarding aromatic recovery, advancements are being made.

All the grapes used for Pierre Chavin wines come from the South of France. For Pierre Chavin, producing a premium non-alcoholic wine begins with selecting quality grapes in the vineyard. With over 15 years of non-alcoholic winemaking experience, Pierre Chavin is one of the oldest producers in this field. Mathilde Boulachin (Founder and CEO), and Benjamin Carteyron (Winemaker) carefully select individual vineyard parcels to ensure they receive the best grapes for dealcoholized wines.

For dealcoholized wines, moderate acidity and highly aromatic varietals are preferred, which is why Southern France is ideal. Pierre Chavin sources the Sauvignon Blanc and Rose from an area in Southern France that has abundant water to enhance aromatics, along with warm conditions to reduce acidity. In the case of sparkling wines, which require higher acidity, Pierre Chavin selects Chardonnay vineyards located at high altitudes near the Mediterranean Sea, benefiting from a fresh and cool climate.
