Cremant d'Alsace

Sparkling Alsace wines are made under the AOC Crémant d'Alsace, using the traditional method (as used in Champagne). The grapes are picked right at the start of the harvest, when they are at their freshest. This helps the wines to be vibrant, with a cleansing acidity.

The grapes authorised for Crémant d'Alsace production are Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Chardonnay. Crémant d'Alsace can be produced as either brut (white) or rosé. These sparkling wines are traditionally made by undergoing fermentation twice: once in the barrel, then once in the bottle. Yeast and sugar are added to the bottle, creating a naturally sparkling wine.
