Heim Cremont D'Alsace Imperial Brut, 75cl

This Crémant d’Alsace comes from a harmonious blend of different base wines made of Pinot Blanc. Further to the traditional fermentation, it is in the bottle itself that, thanks to a secondary fermentation, the ''prise de mousse'' takes place. During the ageing period on the lies, the bottles are rotated daily, gradually from the horizontal position to the vertical position, in order for the yeast deposit to accumulate in the neck of the bottle to await removal. At the time of ''dégorgement'' (disgorgement), the neck of the bottle is frozen and, enclosed in ice, the sediment is ejected by natural pressure. Then, in the finest traditional way, the resulting space is filled with a liquor providing its own style. There are raspberry and nut aromas due to the ageing on horizontal storage from 16 to 18 months (against 12 months legally authorized).

Tasting Notes

Beautiful pale-yellow robe with a superb and persisting stream of bubbles. Well-balanced and remarkably long on the palate, this Cremant enjoys an acid structure whitch brings fineness and freshness. The very fine bubbles of this Cremant sign its delicacy and elegance.

Pairing Notes
