Crémant d'Alsace Blanc E. Klipfel Magnum (1.5L)

A sparkling wine from Alsace, made from Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois. The grapes are hand-harvested in Alsace and the wine is made by the traditional method, with second fermentation in bottle and long ageing on the lees. The soil is calcareous and clay. The aroma suggests fresh citrus, green apple, white flowers and a hint of brioche. On the palate there is lively acidity, fine bubbles and good length with pear and almond notes, with an elegant, crisp and creamy mouthfeel and a fresh finish. Serve at 6-8°C with shellfish, oysters, light fish dishes, sushi, canapés or cheeses such as Comté or Brillat-Savarin.
