Discovering the wine region of Crémant d'Alsace

Crémant d'Alsace is the appellation for white and rosé Sparkling wines from the Alsace wine region in northeastern France. Introduced in August 1976, the appellation now accounts for about a quarter of the region's production, or about 45 million bottles per year, up from 31 million in 2009. Outside of Champagne (240km to the west), it is the dominant French sparkling wine appellation, with more than half of all crémant production. The cooperatives are the most important players, with Wolfberger alone producing 6 to 7 million bottles.

But many of the region's most prestigious estates produce sparkling wines. As with all French Crémant appellations, the traditional method is used to make Crémant d'Alsace. The wines must spend a minimum of nine months maturing on their lees to ensure a certain level of complexity. This ageing on the lees gives the wines a toasty, nutty, sometimes flinty Character.
