Description
Extra brut classic method sparkling wine from Alsace, produced by Domaine Gruss & Fils. A Crémant d'Alsace, 12.5% ABV. 0.75L bottle. A wine that tells the story of a family that has cultivated vines with passion and respect for tradition since the 17th century. A rich bouquet, ranging from rich hints of chalk and graphite to wet stone and flint. Fresh, with notes of mint and thyme. After careful aeration, it reveals bread crust and a subtle smoky note. Pale straw yellow with greenish highlights. Dry, direct, and sharp, with a remarkable body and a persistence that invites tasting.

All the vineyards are organically cultivated. The company avoids using weedkillers and employs home-grown compost for fertiliser and grassing in alternating rows. The vineyards have a yield that varies from a minimum of 25 quintals per hectare, for the Grains Nobles selections, to 80 quintals for the grapes destined for sparkling wines. Harvesting is still done strictly by hand. For the rest, only 'common sense': traditional vinification in old oak barrels that were bought by great-grandfather Joseph. There are no hidden secrets for a production that reflects the terroir and grape varieties of Alsace, the result of an interpretation that is attentive to the terroir and faithful to tradition.
