Beschreibung

Product description for Albert Mann Crémant d’Alsace, Extra Brut 2021 (bio)

Domaine Albert Mann is the merger of two great winemaking families: the Mann family, who have been growing wine since the early 17th century, and the Barthelmé family, the current owners, who have been active in winemaking since 1654. Located in Wettolsheim on the Alsace Wine Route, each plot of the 25-hectare estate is individually cultivated according to organic and biodynamic principles. The Crémant d’Alsace Extra Brut is a blend of 70% Pinot Blanc and annually varying proportions of Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, and Riesling. The grapes grow on loamy limestone, sand, and gravel, and the vines are an average of 30 years old. The dosage was approximately one gram, and disgorging took place in February 2024.

Colour

Light straw yellow with fine perlage.

Nose

A crystal-clear nose with stone fruit, clear apple, a touch of citrus, orange blossom, white flowers, and green apricot. A hint of yeast pastry with glaze wafts beneath, otherwise very pure and delicately fruity.

Palate

Juicy on the palate with clearly defined fruit, not overripe, not harvested too early, but ripe. Pleasantly dry, the mousse is still somewhat turbulent thanks to the recent disgorgement, yet disciplined and finely bubbly, as it should be. Alongside the clear fruit, the palate reveals a hint of salt-buttered plait.
