Where it comes from
This oenological expression originates in the heart of Alsace, a French region renowned for its soils dedicated to excellent viticulture. The wine bears the signature of Philippe Michel, a guarantee of meticulous craftsmanship that enhances the character of Crémant d’Alsace. Dedication at every stage of production translates into a sip that stands out for its aromatic precision and liveliness, offering a clear and authentic representation of its territory of origin.
How it is produced
The vinification process begins with primary fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. To achieve the characteristic rosé hue, the grapes undergo a brief maceration on the skins. The secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, following the strict steps of the Traditional Method. The wine then rests on the lees for a period ranging from twelve to twenty-four months, a crucial phase to enrich the structure and give the palate a noble texture. Best served chilled, between eight and ten degrees, it proves to be an ideal aperitif for convivial moments. At the table, it creates balanced pairings with selections of cheese, delicate seafood dishes and shellfish-based preparations.
