Yura Jintaro: Alsatian Terroir Meets Japanese Precision

Yura Jintaro

Born and raised in Tokyo within a family of French-style restaurateurs, Yura’s early exposure to fine dining sparked his lifelong passion for wine. After beginning his career as a sommelier, he pursued oenological studies and completed training in New Zealand, Burgundy, and Japan. In 2012, he moved to Alsace, where he refined his craft under leading organic and biodynamic vignerons like Domaine Josmeyer, Hurst, and Gross.

Yura's style is one of purity and finesse, resulting in wines that are harmonious and nuanced. There seems to be savory, umami-like salinity to his wines, making them ideal companions with food. Native yeast ferments, minimal intervention, and blending a variety of aging vessels (stainless steel, demi-muids, ceramic, even cement). He frequently uses bâtonnage to enhance texture (an uncommon practice in Alsace) and focuses on achieving a 75/25 balance of tartaric to malic acid for vibrant energy.
