The wine region of Baden
German capital of Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder): silky, fine reds with notes of red fruits, cherry, undergrowth and sweet spices, melted tannins. Round Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris), lively Weissburgunder, supple Müller-Thurgau, mineral Riesling. Germany's 3rd region (15,000 ha) in Baden-Württemberg facing Alsace, one of the country's warmest climates, volcanic soils at the Kaiserstuhl. Cradle of modern great German reds, elegant and fine.
The word of the wine: Disgorging (champagne)
This is the evacuation of the deposit formed by the yeasts during the second fermentation in the bottle, by opening the bottle. The missing volume is completed with the liqueur de dosage - a mixture of wine and cane sugar - before the final cork is placed. For some years now, some producers have been replacing this sugar with rectified concentrated musts (concentrated grape juice) which give excellent results. A too recent dosage (less than three months) harms the gustatory harmony of the champagne.
