Calixte 5 Cremant d'Alsace Brut, AOC Cremant d'Alsace
Crémant d’Alsace is crafted in a similar fashion to Champagne, with a secondary fermentation in bottle. The Calixte 5 crémant is made from Pinot Blanc. The grapes are fermented in oak barrels and aged for 16 months on its lees – almost twice the minimum required ageing period. This gives quite a broad palate and smooth bubbles. Attractive orchard fruit notes mingle with notes of shortbread and earthy undertones on the nose and palate. 2023-2025 – JB
Calixte 5 Cremant d'Alsace Brut Rose AOC Cremant d'Alsace
The Calixte 5 Crémant d'Alsace Brut Rosé is made from Pinot Noir grapes. It is medium bodied with an appealing peach hue and tiny persistent bubbles. The expressive bouquet is floral and fruity with scents of acacia, talc, red berry and brioche. Red berry fruit expands on the palate trailing into a clean finish. 2023-2024 – LW
