Domaine Allimant-Laugner Cremant d'Alsace Blanc Jeroboam (3 liter)

The Allimant-Laugner Crémant d'Alsace Blanc from the AOC Crémant d'Alsace is a magnificent sparkling wine, lively and refined, and is the result of a harmonious blend of fruit with the smoothness of Pinot Blanc, the acidity and freshness of Riesling, as well as the richness and structure of Pinot Gris. The Allimant-Laugner Crémant Blanc ages for approximately 18 months, ensuring an optimal balance between yeasts harmoniously integrated into the wine and aromas of fresh fruit. During disgorgement, the dosage of liqueur is limited to 3 g/l to offer a wine that is as natural as possible.

Without a doubt one of the best Crémants available, and its popularity is certainly understandable, as this wine is also made using the Traditional Method, just like a good Champagne, Cava, or Spumante, with a second fermentation in the bottle. The price of this Crémant de Alsace is incomparable to that of a good Champagne, and it is of outstanding quality. The fact that we are not alone in this opinion is evidenced by the fact that this is the highest-scoring Crémant on the Vivino platform and the wine receives 91/100 from Wine Enthusiast.

In France, they are crazy about Crémant d'Alsace. There, it is the most consumed sparkling wine after Champagne. For home consumption, this bubbly even ranks number 1 among the French. Crémant d'Alsace is ideal as a festive aperitif, perhaps with a light appetizer, but is also delicious with a fish dish.

ABOUT DOMAINE ALLIMANT-LAUGNER

The origins of Domaine Allimant-Laughner begin with two families cultivating the vineyards since the 17th century: the Laugners in the village of Dieffenthal and the Allimants in Saint-Hippolyte. In 1816, after participating in all of Napoleon's campaigns, Captain François-Antoine Allimant purchased more vines on the hills of Haut-Koenigsbourg and a beautiful farmhouse dating back to 1664 in the village of Orschwiller, the current property of the estate. Like most families, the Allimants still lived off the cultivation of multiple crops but chose to focus more on wine, with Charles Allimant beginning to bottle his wine in 1949 and developing its distribution with his daughter Mariette and her husband René Laugner. Their eldest son Hubert took over in 1984, giving the estate true fame together with his wife Françoise, and since 2013 with their son Nicolas. The family manages Domaine Allimant-Laugher as a magnificent heritage spanning more than 10 generations.

The privilege of producing a product from this unique, authentic terroir also entails a responsibility; consequently, Domaine Allimant-Laugner works in a natural manner with the utmost respect for the environment. All tasks (pruning, harvesting, maintenance) are carried out, and this is also because close contact with the vines allows for a better understanding of their needs. To effectively manage the vigor of the vines and preserve the ecosystem, they work primarily with alternating plowed and grassed rows. In the cellar, too, modernity and tradition must be well balanced to produce precise and fine wines, yet with a minimal human and ecological footprint. They work with a brand-new pneumatic press and temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and fermentation takes place exclusively 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 produces great wines.
