Description
Produced in Oregon’s Northern Willamette Valley, the range of J. Christopher Wines follows a patient winemaking approach that clearly expresses the unique character of their cool-climate roots. Owned by the renowned Mosel winegrower, Ernst “Erni” Loosen (of Dr. Loosen), the wines are hand-crafted in small lots and are sourced from some of the finest sustainably-managed vineyards in the area.
The goal of J. Christopher Wines is to showcase the Old World finesse and elegance that Erni has always pursued in his German wines. As he puts it, “We want to make wines that have a fine balance of fruit, acidity and texture, while expressing their individual origins.” The key to this is unhurried winemaking, which allows the wines to evolve at their own pace, with a minimum of intervention

The Cuvée Lunatique is a fresh and lively Chardonnay that is made in a style inspired by the finely structured, steely white wines of the Mâcon in Burgundy. To preserve its bright fruit and crisp texture, it is produced in a stainless steel tank, with no malolactic fermentation. This winemaking method creates a very refreshing wine that balances delicious fruitiness with energizing mineral tension.
