The Details

The texture of this sparkling wine is smooth and luxurious, with a velvety and silky feel. It offers delicate aromas of apricot, mirabelle plum, and hints of cherry blossom. The light residual sugars are perfectly balanced by its mineral and saline undertones. Crafted from grapes harvested in 2019 and 2020, the bubbles in this Extra-Brut are created by the addition of grapes from the 2021 harvest. This crémant is a versatile choice, ideal for enjoying as an aperitif or pairing with fruity desserts like a strawberry pavlova.

About Alsace

Wines from Alsace, nestled in the northeastern corner of France along the Rhine River, offer a captivating and distinctive vinous journey. Renowned for their purity, varietal expression, and exceptional terroir, Alsace wines are celebrated for their clarity and consistency. The region's unique microclimate, sheltered by the Vosges Mountains, allows for the cultivation of a remarkable array of grape varieties, with Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris standing as emblematic stars. These wines, often bottled in tall, slender vessels known as flûtes, enchant the palate with their vibrant acidity, aromatic complexity, and the ability to beautifully reflect the terroir in which they are grown. From the bone-dry and mineral-driven Rieslings to the opulent and spicy Gewürztraminers, Alsace wines offer an enchanting glimpse into the artistry of winemaking, making them a treasured gem in the world of fine wine.
