Organic, Biodynamic & Natural

Round & Fresh

When Michel Muré settled in Rouffach and planted his vineyard in the 17th century, he surely had little conception of the beautiful adventure that he was setting in motion for his descendants. In 1935, Alfred Muré extended the property with the addition of the 12-hectare (25-acre) wholly owned Clos Saint Landelin, foreseeing already its potential for exceptional quality. He replanted the terraces, ideally situated with their sunny exposure and shelter from the rain.

Nowadays it is Alfred’s grandson René, together with his children Véronique and Thomas, the 11th and 12th generations of the family, who are responsible for running this exceptional, wholly-owned vineyard and its neighbouring terroirs, using biodynamic methods.

A blend of pinot blanc (25%), pinot auxerrois (25%), riesling (15%), pinot gris (25%) and pinot noir (10%); only perfectly healthy grapes are used to obtain the greatest elegance and vivacity in this crémant.

They are harvested exclusively from the clay-limestone soil of the Rouffach region. This origin gives the Crémant d’Alsace brut its citrus and yellow fruit aromas and its fine structure. The wine acquires its elegance and fullness in the bottle during the second fermentation called prise de mousse. The long contact with the lees and the riddling bring a smoothness that balances the beautiful acidity of the wine. The lees are removed at the time of disgorging and replaced by the liqueur d’expédition. Following disgorgement, the wine is left to rest for a few months to restore its harmony.

Delicate foam; persistent ring of bubbles in the glass. Open nose with apple, vanilla, cinnamon and linden aromas. Round and easy to drink on the palate, with a fresh and long finish. This Crémant is an ideal aperitif.
