Description
What kind of wine it is
The Relief Savoyard Crémant de Savoie Brut by Marcel Cabelier is an elegant sparkling wine made using the Traditional Method that expresses the soul of its region. It is born from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Savagnin, Jacquère and Altesse. On the nose, it offers aromas of apple, white peach and wildflowers, enhanced by notes reminiscent of freshly baked bread. On the palate, a fine and persistent perlage introduces a dry and vibrant sip. The pronounced savoury-mineral acidity gives structure and depth, leading the tasting towards a long and clean finish, perfect for accompanying refined starters.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in France, in the heart of Savoie, a charming Alpine landscape that defines its distinctive character. The vines grow on limestone and stony soils, immersed in a mountain climate that ensures extraordinary gustatory energy. This geological formation results in a pronounced minerality, giving verve and dynamism to the glass. The Crémant de Savoie designation highlights the extreme precision of the base wines. In this specific mountain terroir, the grapes develop a taut profile, maintaining the vigour of the fruit and elegant floral nuances.
How it is produced
The Marcel Cabelier winery produces this wine by strictly following the Traditional Method, starting with meticulous manual harvesting of the bunches. Gentle pressing delicately extracts the must, which ferments at a controlled temperature to preserve the purity of the aromas. The base wines rest on the lees before composing the final blend. The addition of the liqueur de tirage initiates the second fermentation in the bottle, followed by a maturation period. This careful ageing on the lees integrates the liveliness of the fruit with a fresh citrus note, defining the Brut style, dry and satisfying.
History and Curiosities
The Relief Savoyard Crémant de Savoie Brut by Marcel Cabelier is an authentic expression of the French Alpine terroir. Produced by a winery located in the Jura, between Burgundy and Switzerland, it is made from hand-picked grapes and carefully vinified according to the traditional method. After gentle pressing, it matures in the bottle for twelve months, developing a persistent and elegant perlage. This refined sparkling wine encapsulates the mineral energy of the Savoy mountains and the freshness of apple, ensuring a harmonious longevity that is capable of evolving beautifully over time.
