Sophie Schaal Crémant d'Alsace Extra Brut

Pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles that form a delicate mousse. Elegant and fresh nose with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, white flowers and a subtle hint of brioche and almond from lees ageing. Crisp and vibrant, the palate is dry and refreshing with lively acidity. Flavours of citrus, pear and toasted notes unfold with finesse, leading to a clean, mineral driven finish.

Viticulture

Predominantly composed of limestone, the soil provides excellent drainage while retaining essential minerals. This nutrient-rich foundation encourages deep root growth, enhancing grape concentration and ensuring a perfect balance of acidity and freshness. This wine is crafted with respect for nature, following organic practices to preserve the purity of the grapes and the balance of the ecosystem. No synthetic chemicals or pesticides are used, allowing the vineyard to thrive naturally and express its true terroir.

Vinification

Pinot Blanc grapes are hand-harvested early to preserve freshness. After the first fermentation, the base wine is bottled with yeast and sugar to start a second fermentation in bottle. The wine is then aged on its lees for at least 24 months, adding complexity and texture. After disgorgement a small dosage (Extra brut : 3gr/L) is be added to adjust sweetness before final corking.
