Story
Founded in 1895, the Cave de Ribeauvillé is the oldest cooperative in France. The vineyards cover 265 hectares surrounding Ribeauvillé village. The human element is the foundation of the cooperative with a total of 110 members. AOC Crémant d’Alsace is the jewel in the crown of the sparkling wines produced in Alsace.
Vineyard
The vineyards extend for six miles around Ribeauville, on a famous geological fault line whose terrain is characterized by a patchwork of different soils and subsoils. Sediments of clay, chalk, sandstone schist and marls provide the acidity and the structure unique to the Alsace wines. The plots are well exposed to sunshine and benefit from the natural protection of the Vosges Mountains.
Vinification
Traditional winemaking methods were used to respect the terroirand enhance freshness and fruit. Methods included: 100% hand harvesting, juice separation and skin maceration. No malolactic fermentation in order to preserve the acidity. Aging on lees. A unique Quality Charter with a 100% parcel traceability, a severe yield control and environmental protection.
Tasting Notes
Dry and racy, with various aromas from fruit notes (citrus fruits) to mineral aromas (flinty). Vigorous at the beginning, it shows a well-structured and a long lasting finale.
Food Pairing
Noble and racy, this is a fantastic wine for gastronomy. This Riesling goes marvelously well with fish, shellfish, whites meats and our famous sauerkraut from Alsace.
