Vintage Report
2023 was een goed oogstjaar in de Elzas, gekenmerkt door gunstige weersomstandigheden die resulteerden in rijpe en gezonde druiven. Dit belooft een basiswijn van hoge kwaliteit voor deze Crémant.
When you think of sparkling wines, it's hard to ignore Champagne. This delicate, fizzy wine from the eponymous region in northern France has been conquering the world for decades. However, France, as a wine country, has so much more to offer in the way of sparkling wines. Start your dinner with a glass of Cremant, a sparkling wine made according to the same principles as Champagne, but with a different origin. This Cremant d'Alsace, for example, comes from, yes, Alsace!
The wines of Fernand Engel
This bubbling celebration is made possible by Fernand Engel, an innovative winery nestled in the idyllic landscape of Alsace. The numerous small wine villages evoke an almost melancholic atmosphere. Fernand Engel has particularly excelled in Riesling, the region's crowning grape. However, with the launch of this Fernand Engel Cremant d Alsace Brut Chardonnay, the winery has a new ace up its sleeve: a premium sparkling wine made entirely from Chardonnay! Just like champagne, Fernand Engel's Cremant d Alsace Brut Chardonnay is made using the traditional method. The juice undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle and ages for at least 18 months in Fernand Engel's cellar before being released for sale. This guarantees you a fantastic sparkling wine with this Cremant d Alsace.The aroma and taste of Fernand Engel Cremant d Alsace Brut Chardonnay
The craftsmanship is clearly evident in Fernand Engel Crémant d Alsace Brut Chardonnay. As soon as the iconic champagne cork leaves the bottle, you're immediately captivated by the aromas of this sparkling wine: soft citrus, fragrant grapefruit, and a hint of baked apple. Swirling the rich juice vigorously in the glass reveals its complexity with notes of baked bread and a touch of smoky aromas. All in all, incredibly balanced and excellent for the true connoisseur.Product details
