The harvest for the Crémant d’Alsace starts usually begining of september. Our winemaker controls the maturity in the selected parcels. Grapes are exclusively picked by hand. Bunches are put intact in the pneumatic press on low-pressure programs.
After a first fermentation in tanks, a second fermentation takes place in the bottle. This process is called the Traditional Method, used as well for the elaboration of Champagne. The bottles are ageing 15 to 18 months « sur lattes »
This Crémant d’Alsace shows a light gold colour with a fine stream of bubbles rising in the glass. The nose reveals a delicate bouquet of fresh fruits and white flowers aromas. In mouth it is a fresh, well structured and elegant wine. Perfect on its own as an apéritif. It pairs well with fish dishes oysters or shellfish, as well as desserts.
