Crémant d'Alsace Bollenberg Brut Zéro Sans Soufre Valentin Zusslin (Domaine) 2016

The wine

Valentin Zusslin’s Crémant d’Alsace Brut Zéro Sans Soufre is a unique cuvée as the varieties from which it is produced are grown on the terroir of Clos Liebenberg yet separated from the rest of the vineyard: this area of vines is tended to biodynamically. The grapes are picked at perfect ripeness and are rigorously sorted so as to only choose the best. This cuvée contains no added sugar nor sulphites and delivers an incredible finesse. Its striking yellow colour is dotted with fine bubbles; it offers up aromas of fresh and ripe citrus fruits. On the palate, the bubbles lend freshness and vibrancy and accentuate the volume. A flavourful wine.

About the Producer Valentin Zusslin

Domaine Valentin Zusslin is a longtime darling of critics and wine guides (including Bettane & Desseauve and the RVF). The 16 hectare estate which is based in Orschwihr, just south of Colmar, converted to biodynamic viticulture in 1997. Wines are produced from a total of 9 different grape varieties, featuring crystalline whites and structured Pinot Noirs perfect for cellaring.
