Where it comes from

This sparkling wine comes to life in Alsace, a renowned French wine region known for its remarkable diversity of terroirs. The Crémant d’Alsace appellation is rooted in a strong regional tradition associated with bottle fermentation. The area's varied soils allow for base wines with great tension and clean aromas, ideal traits for creating a crisp Brut. Its Alsatian origin translates into a wine with a measured style, aimed at constant taste harmony.

How it is produced

Production begins with manual harvesting of the grape clusters, picked only at perfect ripeness. The vinification adopts the Traditional Method, completing the delicate stage of foam formation through in-bottle fermentation. The process is enriched with aging in barrels and a period of resting on the lees, essential practices for determining the finesse of the perlage and roundness on the palate. The result of this meticulous process is a technically precise Brut, capable of combining defined structure with a pleasing overall softness.

Tasting notes

In the glass, the wine displays a bright golden yellow color, interspersed with greenish hues and a delicate perlage. The nose offers clear fruity aromas, with distinct notes of lemon and delicate white-fleshed fruit. On the palate, the entry is lively and followed by a refreshing progression that enlivens the palate until it ends in a long, citrusy finish. The interaction between the finesse of the effervescence and its vibrant character ensures a clean, harmonious sip.

Food pairings

Perfect for aperitif time, this sparkling wine naturally complements delicate dishes. At the table, it pairs well with scallop carpaccio with citrus, sea bass tartare with mango, or refined pear tarts. Following local gastronomy, it can be served with choucroute garnie or a classic Alsatian tarte flambée, served piping hot, where its lively sip balances the structured elements of the dish.

When to serve it
