Cremant d'Alsace Brut 'Equinoxe' Aimé Stentz

The Crémant d'Alsace Brut 'Equinoxe' from Domaine Aimé Stentz is an excellent Classic Method of great elegance and freshness, made by an Alsatian estate that produces excellent wines with passion and craftsmanship. It is a harmonious blend, combining the structure of Pinot Noir with the refined fruitiness of Pinot Blanc.

"Equinoxe" is a Crémant d'Alsace Brut and represents one of the spearheads of the range of labels from Domaine Aimé Stentz, which specialises in small productions that faithfully reflect regional traditions and the authentic character of an extraordinary terroir. The estate covers 14 hectares, cultivated according to organic farming principles. The name of the sparkling wine is not accidental. The grapes are traditionally harvested on the day of the autumn equinox. The vineyards are located in hilly areas characterised by the presence of valuable limestone-clay soils. Soft pressing of the grapes is followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. According to the Metodo Classico, secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, with a rest on the lees for 36 months before dégorgement.

The Crémant d'Alsace Brut 'Equinoxe' from Domaine Aimé Stentz is an excellent alternative to the more noble Champagne. It is the ideal choice when one wishes to taste bubbly on less formal occasions with a friendly and convivial character. In the glass, it has a luminous straw-yellow colour with brilliant golden reflections. A delicate, continuous perlage brings to the nose intense aromas of ripe yellow fruit, citrus nuances and delicate floral hints, hints of bread crust, almonds and freshly baked pastries. Harmonious and rich, it offers the pleasure of a creamy and satisfying sip that stretches towards a long, fresh and savoury finish.
