Jean-Claude Buecher Empreinte Crémant d'Alsace Brut Nature (75cl)

Empreinte is a Brut Nature Crémant d'Alsace from the organically farmed Jean-Claude Buecher domaine, made by the traditional method and aged for an extended time on its lees. The blend is two thirds Chardonnay from the 2023 harvest and one third reserve wine. The grapes come from the Rotenberg site on the Hengst slopes at Wettolsheim. The nose offers citrus, fresh fruit and a mineral touch. On the palate it is straight and precise, with a delicate texture and good tension, and the finish is clean and persistent. It is best served at around 8°C, as an aperitif or with oysters, shellfish and fish.
