Terroir
Nestled around Rouffach, in the heart of the Alsace wine region, the vineyards dedicated to this Crémant flourish on perfectly exposed limestone hillsides. This active limestone terroir gives the wine its tension, its straightness, and that crystalline freshness typical of great sparkling wines. The average age of the vines, around 20 years old, ensures a beautiful balance between aromatic maturity and liveliness, essential for the production of fine and elegant bubbles.
Winemaking
This Crémant d'Alsace is crafted with a precision worthy of the finest bubbles. After a meticulous first fermentation, each blend rests for 12 months before blending. The estate here adopts a method inspired by the solera: the wine of the year is married to a perpetual reserve of previous vintages, kept on lees. This rare process in Alsace brings remarkable aromatic depth and complexity. The second fermentation is followed by a long aging on laths, then by additional rest after disgorging, ensuring a fine, elegant, and perfectly integrated bubble.

Tasting
A Crémant with character, full of finesse. The nose opens with restraint on subtle aromas of white fruits, meadow flowers, and a hint of brioche. In the mouth, the bubbles are delicate, the texture caressing, carried by a beautiful liveliness. The whole is straight, precise, with a saline and invigorating finish that prolongs the freshness. A pure and elegant expression of the Alsatian style. To be enjoyed within three years after disgorgement to fully appreciate its freshness, aromatic brightness, and the finesse of its bubbles.
Food pairings
This "Prestige" Alsace Crémant shines from the aperitif with Comté cheese gougères or crispy vegetable tempura. At the table, it reveals all its freshness with a herb-stuffed trout in parchment, a sea bream ceviche or a warm langoustine salad. At the end of the meal, its tension perfectly accompanies a thin apricot tart or a lemon-basil sorbet.
