"Sparkling Alsace
"While the domaine offers the full range of Alsace wines, the village of Scherwiller and its surrounding area is home to many terroirs favorable to Riesling, the only grape variety used in this crémant from the 2020 harvest. On the nose, floral notes (honeysuckle, lime blossom) are accompanied by a "petrol-like" minerality characteristic of the grape variety. This character is reflected in a supple attack on the palate, followed by a lively finish". (Le Guide Hachette 2024) Daring, but successful!

About the wine:
While the estate offers the full range of Alsace wines, the village of Scherwiller and its surrounding area is home to numerous terroirs favorable to Riesling, the only grape variety used in this Crémant from the 2020 harvest. On the nose, floral notes (honeysuckle, lime blossom) are accompanied by a "petrol-like" minerality characteristic of the grape variety. This character is reflected in a supple attack on the palate, followed by a lively finish. "Bold, but successful", according to one taster.
About the domain :
Based in Scherwiller, near Sélestat, Damien, joined by his daughter Aude, has been running a 16-hectare estate since 1998, supplementing its production with a trading activity. Their vineyards are spread over three terroirs, including Frankstein, a granite grand cru around the neighboring village of Dambach-la-Ville.

Crémant d'Alsace is not champagne. On the festive table, it suffered a little from the comparison. But at this price, it's obviously not bad.

Surprisingly fine and floral, with typical Riesling character and fine bubbles. And very pleasant.

It's not a champagne! It's a crémant! The Riesling is elegant and flowery, with a discreet but seductive nose. Fine bubbles, very satisfying overall.

Superb mid-palate with a solar Riesling. Beautiful balance and fine bubbles that energize the whole.

It seems a little sweet to me. It's the cepage riesling but the result doesn't seem similar to champagne.
