Brasserie des Voirons, Vivante de Jeannot 2024

​Brasserie des Voirons' Bière Vivante de Jeannot 2024 is a unique blonde ale crafted in Lucinges, Haute-Savoie. This beer undergoes spontaneous fermentation and is aged for six months in Burgundy barrels on the lees of 2023 Pinot Noir from Yann Durieux's vineyards in Nuits-Saint-Georges. The process imparts subtle notes of red berries, earth, and spice, resulting in a structured and complex profile.​

Unfiltered and unpasteurized, this "bière vivante" is free from chemical additives, allowing it to evolve gracefully over time. With an alcohol content of 6% and bottled in 75 cl formats, it's a rare offering, often limited to three bottles per customer. ​

Brasserie des Voirons, operated by Christophe and Barbara Grellier, is known for its innovative approach to brewing, often incorporating elements from the world of natural wine. Their beers are brewed with pristine alpine water sourced from the same aquifer as Evian, contributing to their luminous and nourishing character.
