Description

Fourth generation farmers, Thomas and Lise Horcher are a brother-sister team following sustainable practices. Their Cremant reflects the terroir with a generous combination of acidity and freshness. Made exclusively from handpicked grapes, this is a blend of Pinot Gris (20%), Pinot Blanc (10%), Chardonnay (20%), and Auxerrois (50%). Traditional method fermentation (as with Champagne), 14+ months ageing on the lees provides elegant texture and richness. A dry style, labeled Brut this is poised and precise with typical notes of ripe yellow apple and spice. A versatile sparkling wine for every occasion.

Alcohol: 12%
Sugar: 4 g/L

91 Points – WineAlign: “An ambitious, gunpowder flinty, soda biscuity Crémant that clearly rises above the sparkling norm for Alsace. Lightning in a bottle, raging acidity and dry as the desert for a category of sparkling wines that don’t traditionally or cumulatively act this way. A detour for sure and one worth noting.”
