Intensity
A fresh, delicate blend of Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois and Riesling, where each grape variety plays its part to perfection.
More infoThis Crémant d’Alsace combines a majority of Pinot Blanc with 15% Auxerrois and 15% Riesling, each contributing its own personality to the blend. The grapes come from the clay-limestone, sandy and gravelly soils of Kientzheim and Wettolsheim, where the dry, sunny climate ensures optimal ripeness. Grown according to biodynamic principles, the grapes receive meticulous care throughout the winemaking process.
In the glass, this Crémant displays a pale hue animated by a delicate mousse. The nose reveals notes of white flowers, apple and Williams pear. On the palate, it is generous and finely structured, developing notes of yellow fruit with a harmonious balance that leads to a lively, refreshing finish. A wine best enjoyed in its youth, perfect alongside a seafood platter or a traditional tarte flambée.

About the Producer Albert Mann
Domain Albert Mann is a historic Alsatian domain. It is the result of two families coming together: the Mann family, winemakers since the 17th century, and the Barthelmé, the current owners, winemakers since 1654. Located in Wettolsheim in the Haut-Rhin, in the heart of Alsace, the domain spans 25 hectares, a third of which are grands crus. The vineyards have been cultivated according to biodynamic principles since 1997, though certification wasn't obtained until 2010 (it gained organic certification in 2000). Meticulous work is carried out in the vineyards, with much focus on replanting vines through massal selection, so as to increase the vineyard's diversity. The parcels are tilled, and several biodynamic preparations are used. In the winery, the vinifications are ‘hands off', as the producers strive to achieve maximal finesse (limited intervention, wild yeast, no fining, etc.) . The red wines are raised in Burgundian barrels. This domain is now known as one of the finest in Alsace; its elegant, racy wines are sought after for their digestible profile, complexity and depth.
