Cremant d’Alsace – Traditional Method Sparkling Wine

Domaine Allimant-Laugner Cremant d’Alsace – Traditional Method Sparkling Wine

This exquisite Cremant d’Alsace is crafted using the traditional method, the same technique applied in Champagne production. It combines three classic Alsace grape varieties — Pinot Blanc, Riesling, and Pinot Gris — to create a lively, fragrant sparkling wine full of complexity and layers.

When poured, the wine reveals a fine stream of delicate bubbles, complemented by floral notes of white blossoms alongside fresh peach and green apple aromas. The palate offers bright acidity, a medium body, and a gentle mousse from the bubbles, with pear and apricot flavors that linger pleasantly.

Ideal served chilled as an aperitif, this sparkling wine also pairs wonderfully with fresh seafood, crisp summer salads, or spicy Asian dishes.

Domaine Allimant-Laugner was established in 1965 through the union of two prominent Alsace winemaking families, Mariette Allimant and René Laugner. Today, the estate is managed by three generations who carefully nurture 12 hectares of vineyards planted on diverse soils of limestone, granite, and clay, ensuring sustainable practices for future generations.

Cellar up to 5 years. Serve chilled.

Fermentation occurs in 300-litre casks, with 6 months aging on gross lees and 6 months on fine lees, contributing to a creamy, silky texture and added complexity.

The wine is full-bodied with intense aromas of orchard fruit, honey, fresh pastries, and lingering citrus and spice notes.
