Direct pneumatic pressing (vertical drains to obtain high-quality juices), clarification, controlled fermentation temperatures, racking, and maturing on fine lees for four months. Aging in vats for five months before bottling.

Tasting Notes
Pale yellow color. Fine and persistent froth. The nose is flattering, pleasant, subtle, and refreshing with discrete lemony notes. Fresh fruit dominates the nose. The attack on the palate is frank and ample, all the while remaining crunchy. Very elegant, this Cremant displays very good aromatic finesse with a round and persistent finish, always with plenty of fruit. This wine is very pleasant to drink.

Food Pairing
The Cremant of Cave des Vignerons de Pfaffenheim is first and foremost a festive wine that can be served at any moment of the day. It goes perfectly well with warm or cold oysters and Asian cuisine, like sushi. We recommend it with raw or grilled fish and white meat. It goes well with soft cheese. Cremant is also the perfect companion to fruity desserts such as strawberry soup, pineapple carpaccio, or a lemon tart.

Service

A mere touch of yeast plays around lemon notes on the nose of this wine. The palate comes in with soft but rich notes of lemon cheesecake in all its creamy, rounded freshness. A dry finish is dominated by bright, refreshing and foamy lemon notes
