Cremant d'Alsace Brut Cuvée Prestige Aimé Stentz

Aimé Stentz's Cremant d'Alsace Brut Cuvée Prestige is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Riesling capable of giving sips of great freshness and finesse, as the best Alsatian tradition demands. The three main grape varieties have their roots in alluvial soils of silty composition. A wine that, like all those produced by this historic winery, becomes a proud expression of a terroir and winegrowing tradition that distinguishes this wonderful region in the heart of Europe.

The Brut Cuvée Prestige Cremant d'Alsace of Aimé Stentz begins its story during the harvest, which is rigorously carried out by hand, so as to be able to carry out a profound selection of the fruit and avoid damage to the bunches that would lead to serious problems during processing in the cellar. Here, once the grapes of the three grape varieties that make up the blend of this Cremant have been transferred, the first fermentation in steel vats is followed by a second in the bottle, as required by the Metodo Classico process. An 18-month maturation on the lees in the bottle concludes the process.

Aimé Stentz's Cremant d'Alsace Brut Cuvée Prestige colours the glass with an intense straw yellow enlivened by soft, subtle bubbles. Taken to the nose one is overwhelmed by the freshness of grapefruit and lime aromas rounded off by classic pastry aromas and buttery notes. Once tasted, what strikes you is the liveliness and taut sip that characterises this wine with its full and structured taste that never seems to want to leave our taste buds. Delicious as an aperitif, it is the ideal companion with traditional French baked goods such as gougere, a small savoury cheese pastry. A lively sparkling wine with a fiery character, the Brut Cuvée Prestige from Aimé Stentz is an exceptional example of how not only in Champagne one can drink extraordinary bubbles.
