Description
René Muré's Crémant d'Alsazia Cuvée Prestige originates from vineyards located on the sunny hills surrounding the town of Rouffach, in a terroir protected by the Vosges mountains.
At the base of this fine bubbles there is a singular blend of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Riesling grapes. Vinification takes place in wood, with maturation of 12 months. The cuvée that will meet the second fermentation will be the result of the union of wines from previous years added to the most recent one, in a process that recalls in the beginning the Solera method. This Crémant remains in ageing for 18 months in which the nobility of the wine is fully defined.
Straw yellow in colour, it produces a refined mousse with persistent bubbles in the glass. It has a fresh, elegant, at times vinous smell, with lemon notes that creep into a rich apple bouquet. On the palate it is lively and flowing, with great finesse and beautiful persistence.
Recommended to accompany a formal dinner or to celebrate an important event, it absolutely prefers shellfish.
