"This 2019 Crémant Brut Nature spent 2.5 years on lees and is fragrant with fresh, ripe apples, white currants and a lovely bright aroma of fresh fruit. The mousse is lively and there's a lovely texture, a little tangy, with wonderful balance in this bone-dry sparkler. A lively, sophisticated aperitif with a lovely apple finish. I'm often skeptical of Pinot Gris as a sparkling wine base, but here it shines." (Vinous 2023)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

An emblematic Bergholtz estate for two generations now. The 18 hectares of biodynamic vineyards are the result of the union of Jean Dirler and Ludivine Cadé. In the range, the fine terroirs of Saering, Kitterlé, Kessler and especially Spiegel have great ageing potential, allowing the slight residual sugars to melt away.

Rated wine (guide 2024 ) 91/100

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the wine:

Salivating, with a hint of licorice, this crémant is crisp and fleshy.

About the domain :

Sensitive and experienced winemakers, Jean Dirler and his wife Ludivine are at the helm of this estate, founded in 1871, handed down from father to son for five generations, and biodynamic since 1998. Whatever the grape variety, the precision of the wines, their density and maturity have never been so accomplished: an impressive range of great dry white wines culminates in the magnificent expressions of the Spiegel, Saering, Kessler and Kitterlé grands crus, which are a must-discover and are now named after the four elements (fire, air, earth, water). This too discreet house offers a remarkable welcome, and many wines are available in older vintages.
