Becker Landgraf J2 Grauburgunder

General Information

Becker Landgraf J2 Grauburgunder comes from Rheinhessen, one of Germany’s most dynamic wine regions. The winery Becker Landgraf, led by Julia and Johannes Landgraf, is known for terroir-driven wines with a focus on precision and purity.

For this cuvée, they use exclusively Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) from limestone-rich soils. Part of the wine is aged in oak, which adds extra depth and structure. The J2 line represents a personal selection by the winemakers: complex, characterful, and gastronomic.

Fun Fact

Grauburgunder is the German name for Pinot Gris. In Rheinhessen, this grape variety often produces wines with both softness and tension, especially on limestone-rich soils such as around Eppelsheim, where Becker Landgraf is located. The J2 series emphasizes the role of both winemakers (Julia & Johannes) and their shared vision of wine: clear, layered, and impeccably pure.
