I love this sparkling wine, its light and lovely.
Cremant is the secret alternative to Champagne, all the elegance of it's better known sibling, but without the price tag. This top quality example from Alsace is made following the same technique and using 100% Pinot Blanc grapes.
The wine is gently aromatic with fresh apple scented fruit, a fine mousse and soft, creamy texture from extended lees aging. The softer bubbles make all the difference and allow this fizz to be enjoyed as an appreitif of throughout a meal.
Elegant and well-balanced finish with a calming zing of acidity to refresh and entice.
Alsace has a history that dates back over a thousand years. The Romans first introduced grape growing to the region, and by the Middle Ages, Alsace was known for its high-quality wines.
Today, Alsace is one of the most prestigious wine regions in France and is known for producing some of the finest white wines in the world.
Pinot Blanc is a white wine grape. It is a point genetic mutation of Pinot Noir. In Austria it may be bottled as Weissburgunder or Klevner. Weissburgunder is also used in Italy and in Germany. In Hungary it is Fehér Burgundi. In the Czech Republic it is known as Rulandské Bílé, in Slovakia Rulandské Biele and in Croatia Pinot bijeli or Burgundac bijeli.
Widely regarded as one of the best co-operatives in the world, Cave de Turckheim lies at the mouth of the Munster Valley. Working closely with 180 partners, its vineyards span the full breadth of Alsatian terroir and grape varieties. Cave de Turckheim only produces wine from the grapes of its member growers, it is a récoltant not a négociant.
