- Average age of vines : 20 years

- Vinification :

This crémant is made with pinot noir. Only perfectly sound grapes are harvested, to reach the most finesse and liveliness in the crémant. They are exclusively coming from the clay- and limestone made soil of the Rouffach's area.
The grapes are pressed whole after a quick maceration that gives the color to the Crémant d'Alsace rosé. The juice starts then its first fermentation in casks. The wine stays on fine lees during 12 months. Fatness is coming from regular "bâtonnages".

During the second fermentation, the wine wins elegance and fullness in bottle. The long contact with the lees (a minimum of 18 months) and the riddling give richness which makes a good balance to the freshness. The lees are taken out by disgorging and replaced by the dosage. The wines gains its harmony during the few months of rest after the disgorging.

- Tasting notes:

This crémant has got a nice pink color.
There is a persistent string of fine bubbles aroung the glass.

Its open nose gives off scents of red fruits ( strawberry, raspberry). On the palate it is rounded but strong. Some tanins from the pinot noir make a nice virility impression. At last, the finish is fine, fresh and strong.

To be served as an aperitif or with a meal.
