Domaine Allimant-Laugner Cremant d'Alsace Blanc

The Allimant-Laugner Cremant d'Alsace Blanc from the AOC Crémant d'Alsace is a great sparkling wine, lively and fine and is the result of a harmonious blend of the fruit with the suppleness of Pinot Blanc, the acidity and freshness of Riesling, as well as the richness and texture of Pinot Gris. The Allimant-Laugner Cremant Blanc is aged for about 18 months, which ensures an optimal balance between yeasts that have melted harmoniously in the wine and aromas of the fresh fruit. During disgorgement, the dosage of the liqueur is limited to 3 g/l in order to offer the most natural wine possible.

Without a doubt one of the best Cremants available and the popularity can certainly be explained because this wine is also made according to the Methode Traditionelle, such as a good Champagne, Cava or Spumante with a second fermentation in the bottle. The price of this Cremant de Alsace is incomparable to that of a good Champagne and is of excellent quality. The fact that we are not alone in this also shows that this is the highest scoring Cremant on the Vivino platform and the wine receives 91/100 Wine Enthusiast.

In France they love Crémant d'Alsace. There it is, after Champagne, the most drunk sparkling wine. For home consumption, this bubble is even number 1 among the French. Crémant d'Alsace is ideal as a festive aperitif, possibly with a light appetizer, but also delicious with a dish with fish.

ABOUT DOMAINE ALLIMANT-LAUGNER

The origins of Domaine Allimant-Laugner begin with 2 families who have cultivated the vineyards since the 17th century, the Laugners in the village of Dieffenthal and the Allimants in Saint-Hippolyte. In 1816 and after participating in all of Napoleon's campaigns, Captain François-Antoine Allimant bought more vines on the Haut-Koenigsbourg hills and a beautiful 1664 farm in the village of Orschwiller, the current property of the domain. Like most families, the Allimants still made a living from growing more crops but chose to focus more on wine with Charles Allimant, who began bottling his wine in 1949 and developed their distribution with his daughter Mariette and her husband René Laugner. . Their eldest son Hubert took over in 1984, gave the domain real fame together with his wife Françoise, and since 2013 with their son Nicolas. The family manages Domaine Allimant-Laugner as a beautiful heritage of more than 10 generations.

The privilege of having a product of this unique authentic terroir also gives a responsibility and so Domaine Allimant-Laugner works naturally with the greatest respect for the environment. All tasks are taken care of (slab pruning, picking, maintenance) and also because the close contact with the vines makes it easier to understand what the needs are. In order to properly control the vigor of the vines and preserve the ecosystem, work is mainly done with alternating plowed and grassy rows. Also in the cellar, modernity and tradition must be well balanced to produce accurate and fine wines, but with a minimal human and ecological imprint. They work with a brand new pneumatic press and stainless steel tanks with temperature control and fermentation takes place only with natural yeasts. The foundation is laid in the unique vineyards which have been managed by the family for 10 generations. With respect and modernity, Domaine Allimant-Laugner makes great wines.
