Cave Vinicole de Hunawihr

Medium lemon hue and delicate effervescence. The ‘5’ here refers to the steps necessary to produce this taut crémant. Step no.4, apparently, is fifteen months on the fine lees. Considerably more than the nine required yet this is not a leesy number. Instead, the nose reveals ripe apple, struck match, white melon, and a delicate woody fragrance. The palate is driven by delicate apple blossom and brisk acidity, racing towards a citrus-inspired finish. 2024-2025–MP
