      Crémant d'Alsace Extra Brut
    • The Crémant d'Alsace Extra Brut Fonné from Domaine Meyer-Fonné embodies the elegance and tradition of Alsace for high quality classic method sparkling wines. Produced from certified organic grapes, this Crémant is the result of a careful selection of vines: 60% Pinot Auxerrois, 20% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Blanc and 5% Pinot Noir. Pinot Auxerrois, in particular, is a white grape variety originating from Alsace and the Moselle region. Often simply called Auxerrois, it is closely related to Pinot Blanc, with which it is frequently blended. Crémant d'Alsace is a designation of controlled origin (AOC) reserved for sparkling wines produced in Alsace using the traditional method, the same as for Champagne. This method involves a **second fermentation in the bottle, which gives the wine a fine and persistent perlage and a unique aromatic complexity. In this case the grapes, harvested by hand, are gently pressed to extract only the best juice. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, followed by ageing on the lees which, according to the regulations, cannot last less than 12 months. In the glass it has a bright straw yellow colour, accompanied by a fine and persistent foam. On the nose, floral notes and vegetal hints emerge, with a fruity verve reminiscent of green apple and citrus. In the mouth it is crisp and fresh, with an elegant minerality and a long and clean finish. Designed to be consumed within 4 years to fully enjoy its freshness and liveliness, it is perfect as an aperitif. It goes well with oysters, sushi, raw fish or fresh cheeses.

      Hidden among the rolling hills of the Alsatian village of Katzenthal, Domaine Meyer-Fonné is one of the most fascinating and historic wineries in the French wine scene. The history of this family-run business dates back to 1732, when the Meyer family, originally from Switzerland, settled in this corner of Alsace. However, it was at the end of the 19th century that Felix Meyer officially established the Domaine, which has since been handed down from generation to generation, maintaining its authentic family spirit. The transition from a simple wine-growing activity to a real wine production is due to François Meyer, Felix's nephew, who introduced bottling and direct sales in the 1960s, while his aunt, Lucie Fonné, continued to dedicate herself passionately to the care of the vineyards. With the arrival of Felix Meyer in 1992, the Domaine Meyer-Fonné experienced a real rebirth. Felix is now considered one of the most talented winemakers in Alsace and has given the company a modern twist, diversifying the terroirs and enhancing the Grand Cru, without ever betraying the legacy left by his predecessors. The 18 hectares of vineyards, spread over 7 municipalities, are in fact a mosaic of different terroirs, with vines dating back as far as 1965. Here, the typical varieties, such as Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Muscat d'Alsace, as well as Pinot Noir, Sylvaner and Chardonnay, are cultivated using organic farming methods. In the cellar, Felix Meyer follows a working philosophy that respects natural rhythms. The grapes, harvested by hand, are vinified by parcel and variety, with gentle pressing and spontaneous fermentation in oak foudres or steel tanks. Ageing on the fine lees and the use of large wooden barrels complete a process that aims to preserve the authenticity and complexity of the wines.
