Domaine Saint-Rémy Crémant d'Alsace, Brut, Cuvée Prestige, Biodynamic French White Wine 75 cl 12,5%

In Alsace it isn't called Champagne, but Crémant - made using exactly the same method, just in the shadow of the more famous name, with biodynamically grown grapes behind every bubble.

Expert's Description

Domaine Saint-Rémy Crémant d'Alsace Brut Cuvée Prestige Biodynamic is a Sparkling Wine from Alsace, France made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Auxerrois, bottled at 12.5% ABV.

Did You Know?

Crémant may only be called Champagne if the grapes come from the Champagne region itself - so even though the method is identical, the Alsace version is legally a completely different category of wine, just at a different price point.
