Winemaker Notes
This sparkling wine is fine with delicate bubbles, a fresh nose of white flowers, a bright and racy mouth feeling with a great persistence.
Pairs well with an aperitif or over dessert. It will also marry well over a whole celebration meal.

Decanter
Fine and delicate bubbles fill the mouth with dominant notes of toasted vanilla spice, lemon peel, apple and lime juice. It has crisp acidity and lively, persistent finish. 9g/l residual sugar. A wonderful apéritif style.
The Cave de Ribeauvillé covers a single vineyard of 580 acres with 8 Grands Crus and many soils of great value. The total surface is managed by a quality chart which guarantees strict control of the yields, sustainable growth of the vineyards or even organic farming, and… manual harvest.
This choice for quality allows sorting of the best grapes that are transported in small elevator-wagons to the presses, without any pumping or handling. The juices then simply flow into the vats by the force of gravity. This method, unique in Alsace, enables all of the aromatic virtues of each varietal to be conserved. The wines express all the richness and diversity of the Alsatian soils. They are pure, straight and frank, with nice freshness and aromatic intensity.
