Crémant d'Alsace AOC Cuvée Premium Michel Fonné

What kind of wine it is

The Crémant d'Alsace Cuvée Premium from Domaine Michel Fonné is a white sparkling wine from Alsace, made using the traditional method. It shows a golden-yellow color, fine bubbles and an elegant, harmonious palate. It is designed for those seeking a wine with a very fine mousse, ideal as an aperitif.

Where it comes from

Domaine Michel Fonné traces its origins back to the mid-18th century. The winery is located in Bennwihr, in the Kaysersberg valley, in Alsace, a land of white and sparkling wines with a clear, distinctive identity.

How it's made

The grapes are gently pressed and the must ferments in stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperature. The wine ages for a few months on the fine lees before bottling. In the bottle, the second fermentation and the prise de mousse take place, followed by 36 months of aging on the lees. This long rest makes the aromas more complex and subtle and further refines the finesse of the bubbles.

Tasting notes

In the glass it shows a golden yellow with fine bubbles. The nose opens with aromas of green apple and fresh grape. The palate is elegant and harmonious, with good length.

Food pairing

Excellent as an aperitif. Its freshness also goes well with small savory bites and light fish dishes.

When to serve

A wine for the aperitif and for social occasions, from the start of the evening to a toast with friends. Serve in a tulip-shaped glass, which enhances the bubbles and the fresh apple and grape aromas.
