This Cremant d'Alsace is a delicious blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Noir. Each grape variety lends its own unique character to this juice. The Chardonnay provides body and fruity notes, the Pinot Blanc lends freshness and refinement, and the Pinot Noir provides balance and a long, pleasant finish. The ideal recipe for a fine white wine. Highly recommended.

The high quality of Balthazar

The Balthazar Fry family, the first winegrowing family, established itself in Bergheim in 1748. Now, the seventh generation keeps the traditions alive, combining them with a contemporary philosophy and approach. They consistently strive for a balance between acidity, sweetness, and alcohol, with an emphasis on elegance. Quality is paramount and is therefore the goal. Environmental protection also plays a major role in viticulture, as only a living soil can convey the character of the terroir to the vine, so the idea goes. The winery owns a total of 33 hectares of vineyards, which have been certified organic since 2012. Nowhere else does Pinot Gris express itself as richly and completely as in Alsace.

The vinification of Balthazar Fry Cremant d'Alsace

The grapes are, of course, the most important thing, so they receive the utmost care. The vineyards are fully organic, and only the very best grapes are good enough for Balthazar's quality wines. This Cremant, like Champagne, is made using the Methode Champenoise. In the Alsace region, however, this is called the Methode Traditionelle. This means a second fermentation in the bottle, two years of aging "sur lattes," and a classic "dégorgement." It's notable that Chardonnay is also used here. This grape variety is only permitted in Alsace for Cremant. If you're looking for a classic wine but also a distinctive Alsace wine, you'll always find what you're looking for at Balthazar Fry!
