Melanie Pfister d' Alsace 'Breit' Extra Brut Bdb, 2022, 750ml

Description

A highly-rated, organically-farmed sparkling wine from Alsace, known for its fine mousse, crisp acidity, and complex notes of apple, peach, citrus, brioche, and minerality, offering a dry, elegant profile that rivals some Champagnes and pairs well as an aperitif or with food. Made from Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, and Auxerrois, it undergoes extended lees aging (24+ months) for enhanced richness and complexity, reflecting winemaker Mélanie Pfister's commitment to premium, traditional methods. 

Mélanie Pfister, 8th generation winemaker in Dahlenheim, Alsace, pioneering organic/sustainable practices. Mélanie Pfister produces a premium Crémant by aging it much longer on the lees than typical (like Champagne), giving it depth and elegance beyond its price point, with a focus on terroir and balance. 

Pale gold, fine mousse, green apple, white peach, lemon zest, brioche, chalky minerality, brisk acidity, dry finish. Excellent aperitif, great with caviar, smoked trout, or creamy pasta.
