Crémant d'Alsace Blanc, E. Klipfel

A Crémant d'Alsace from E. Klipfel, made in the traditional method with a second fermentation in bottle. It is produced from classic Alsace grapes, typically Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois, and aged on the lees for finesse and fine bubbles. The grapes are hand-harvested from selected vineyards in Alsace, on chalk and clay soils. It is suited to aperitifs, seafood, fish and light dishes, and mild cheeses. Green apples, citrus, white flowers and light bread notes on the nose. The palate is fresh and crisp with fine fruit, lively acidity and an elegant mousse. The finish is light, clean, dry and persistent.
