Wine Description
Crémant Extra Brut from the Rieffel wine estate is a blend of Pinot Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Chardonnay. The plots are mainly located on the slopes of Mittelbergheim, close to the Grand Cru Zotzenberg. Ageing takes place in foudres on total lees without stirring for 9 months, followed by 17 months on laths. The crémant is not dosed at disgorgement.
Philippe Mischler, sommelier at Mundovin : Crémant Extra Brut from the Rieffel wine estate is a generous sparkling wine of great precision. This character comes from the different grape varieties that make up the blend, as well as from ageing, notably on total lees. This is one of the purest, most invigorating Crémants to be tasted in Alsace.
On the nose, the wine reveals intense aromas of pear, mirabelle plum and hints of orange peel. Evolving notes of toast and hazelnut add a pleasantly complex dimension.
On the palate, the bubbles are fine and persistent. The wine's body is full-bodied, reflecting the ripeness of the grapes. Hints of baked apple, poached pear and a touch of herbaceousness. The finish is invigorating, underlined by a beautiful minerality. Another fine Alsace extra brut bubble from Lucas Rieffel.
