0.75L
Intensity
This refined biodynamic sparkling wine combines freshness, minerality and complexity, with floral and fruit-laden aromas.
More infoArtéfact reflects a contemporary, biodynamic approach to Alsatian winemaking, rooted in tradition and driven by innovation. The wine is a blend of 40% Auxerrois, 20% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Gris and 20% Pinot Blanc. The grapes come from the terroirs of Wintzenheim, Turckheim and Eguisheim, where vines grow on light, sandy soils that lend the wine a unique character. The grapes are carefully hand-picked once they have reached optimum ripeness. Fermentation occurs naturally with native yeasts in stainless-steel vats to preserve the purity of the aromas. The wine then ages for a year on its lees, followed by a further two years on laths. A slow evolution that builds remarkable complexity. The second fermentation takes place in bottle as per traditional method rules, with an Extra-Brut dosage for a dry, lively style.
In the glass, the pale yellow hue is animated by a fine and persistent bead. The nose reveals complex aromas of white flowers, green apple and toasted bread. On the palate, the wine is lively and chiselled, balanced by a bright mineral tension and a citrus-tinged finish.

About the Producer Vignoble du Rêveur
‘Putting dreams at the centre of all we do, the dreams of our subconscious self that open up horizons.' This has been the main idea behind the running of Domaine Mischler (Bennwihr) since its renovation in 2013. It previously belonged to Mathieu Deiss' family. His grandfather had an unquenchable thirst for freedom, so Mathieu saw fit to pay homage to him by building this domain on an ideal of independence and innovation. None of the grapes are bought from elsewhere; everything that is vinified and matured here is grown on the domain's parcels. It could be said that the family dream has come true! The 7 hectares of land are cultivated organically and biodynamically. Marcel Deiss' son has decidedly inherited the family talent, and he makes wonderful use of it, adding in the dynamism that comes with his youth. One of Alsace's rising stars, notably reputed for his high-quality orange wines.
