Domaine Rene Mure Cremant d'Alsace Brut NV

Domaine Rene Mure Cremant d'Alsace Brut is a traditional method sparkling wine from the Muré family estate in Rouffach, in the heart of Alsace. Made from organically farmed Pinot Blanc, Pinot Auxerrois, Pinot Gris and Riesling grown on limestone rich soils, it undergoes a second fermentation in bottle before spending time ageing on its lees. The result is a wine with a delicate mousse and a persistent ring of bubbles, its open nose showing apple, vanilla, cinnamon and linden. On the palate it is round and easy to drink, with a fresh, long finish that makes it a natural choice as an aperitif. Hand picked and dosed brut, it reflects both the Muré family's organic farming practices and the elegant character typical of Crémant d'Alsace.

According to Maison Muré, this Crémant is crafted using the traditional method, with fine bubbles developed through a second fermentation in the bottle. The estate describes the blend as drawing on grapes cultivated organically around Rouffach, on limestone dominant soils suited to producing fine, elegant base wines for sparkling production. They note the wine's aromas of apple, vanilla, cinnamon and linden, along with a round, easy drinking palate and a fresh finish, positioning it as an ideal aperitif with ageing potential through to 2029.
