Production
The vines are from a combination of granite and gravel soils from the Cave de Turckheim vineyards. Rigorous selection of the best Pinot Noir grapes ensures a fruity and fresh character to this gently sparkling rosé which is made using the 'méthode traditionnelle' with a secondary fermentation in bottle. Dosage is approximately 9g/l and, as is the custom for crémant from Cave de Turckheim, the wine is aged on lees for longer than the appellation regulations require; for 18 months in this case.
Tasting notes
Pale salmon in colour, this is a lovely light and fresh bubbly with a delicate persistent mousse. Fine, raspberry scented fruit on the nose, the palate is elegant, dry and fresh.
Food match
Serve chilled with canapés, as an apéritif, with a cold brunch or desserts.
