Bannwarth Crémant d’Alsace Brut Nature 2011




The company, organic certified, produces this assemblage classic method - 18 months on the lees - composed primarily by Pinot Blanc and, in smaller and not declared percentages, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Auxerrois. It is a vintage, processed without added sulfites during fermentation, without liqueur, with over a year of disgorgement.

In two words, it's nice and good.
Straw, with some green tinge, of copious effervescence, with a very fresh nose and delicate fruity and floral fragrance: white flowers, pear, apple and lime, with some biscuit touch.

The same freshness, a bit sour, by tasting, in line with the olfactory conditions. More fruit than floral, with yellow citrus imposing on the white fruit. Medium persistence, closes fresh and soft, with gentle tones of lime, tropical fruit and a prominent mineral figure.
