Origin
A blend of typical Alsatian varieties Pinot Gris, Auxerrois and Pinot Blanc made in the traditional method for added depth and complexity. AOP rules dictate that Crémant d’Alsace must be kept on the lees for at least 9 months. Whereas, with characteristic Turckheim care and dedication to doing things properly, the wine for this cuvée will spend anything from 12 to 18 months quietly maturing on the lees.
