The center represents the ideal expression achieved after adequate aging on the lees, revealing the depth, finesse, and multi-dimensional character of the sparkling wine.
The Winemaking
This crémant is 100% Pinot Blanc, a grape variety that thrives in the limestone soils of Alsace. The soil, rich in minerals and well-drained, favors deep root growth, enhancing the concentration of the grapes and ensuring a perfect balance between acidity and freshness. The Sophie Schaal winery adopts organic practices, avoiding the use of synthetic chemicals to preserve the purity of the grapes and the ecosystem’s balance. The harvest is carried out by hand to keep the grapes’ freshness intact. After the first fermentation, the base wine is bottled with yeast and sugar to initiate a second fermentation in the bottle. Subsequently, the wine matures on the lees for at least 24 months, adding complexity and texture.
Tasting the wine
Visually, the Crémant d’Alsace Extra Brut presents a pale gold color with fine and persistent bubbles that form a delicate mousse. On the nose, the bouquet is elegant and fresh, with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, white flowers, and a subtle hint of brioche and almond from lees aging. On the palate, it is crisp and lively, with a sparkling acidity. Flavors of citrus and pear intertwine with toasted notes, leading to a clean, mineral-driven finish.
Food Pairings
The Crémant d’Alsace Extra Brut is an extremely versatile wine, ideal for serving as an aperitif or paired with light dishes. It pairs perfectly with seafood, oysters, and sushi, thanks to its acidity that balances the natural sweetness of fish and shellfish. It can also accompany poultry dishes and fresh salads, enhancing flavors with its freshness and mineral character.
