Description
What kind of wine it is
Domaine Welty Crémant d’Alsace Brut is an organic sparkling wine with a dry and refined profile. Made from a blend of Auxerrois and Pinot Noir grapes, this wine is crafted according to the strict principles of the Traditional Method. In the glass, it displays a bright, intense golden yellow hue, releasing elegant floral and citrus aromas. On the palate, it is fresh and lively, characterised by a vibrant fruity texture and a pleasant creamy consistency. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature between 6 and 8°C.
Where it comes from
This wine is the authentic expression of Alsace, a French region renowned for its winemaking excellence. The wine is produced by Domaine Welty, an independent estate with a solid farming history dating back to 1738. The winery’s philosophy is based on meticulous organic cultivation, aimed at preserving the balance of the local ecosystem. This responsible approach gives rise to a Crémant d’Alsace deeply connected to its terroir, where the unique soil and climate conditions provide a clean aromatic profile and an expressive freshness that defines every sip.
How it is produced
After the harvest, the grapes are used to produce the base wine, which then undergoes secondary fermentation according to the Traditional Method. The extended ageing on the lees and the Brut dosage encourage the development of a fine and persistent perlage, highlighting citrus notes and hints of white-fleshed fruit. The production process, with a focus on environmental sustainability, gives the sparkling wine a balanced structure. Thanks to its freshness, the wine boasts excellent ageing potential, capable of maturing in the cellar for between five and ten years.
History and Curiosities
The history of Domaine Welty in Alsace dates back to 1738 and has been passed down through eight generations.

This commitment to sustainability is reflected in their elegant Crémant d’Alsace Brut Réserve, made from Auxerrois and Pinot Noir grapes. The meticulous use of the traditional method gives this sparkling wine a refined creaminess and vibrant floral and citrus aromas.

Eight generations later, we are continuing this wonderful family story, which links us so closely to the land, the vines and the wine, with the same faith and the same enthusiasm.
Every day, our work is guided by the conviction that nature will give us back what we have given her.
It's been over thirty-five years since Jean-Michel took up the torch left by his father Fernand, gradually doubling the surface area of the vineyard.
In September 2012, he was joined by his son Jérémy, who brought a breath of fresh air to the estate with new creations and a new method of cultivation: Organic Farming. Read more
