Crémant de Bourgogne Bernhard

Domaine Jean-Marc Bernhard is a small, family-owned domain that was founded in 1802 at the foothills of the Vosges Mountains in Alsace, France. Frederick is the 9th generation winemaker who’s family has been farming the 27 acres of vineyard land for over 200 years. Organically farmed from granite soils, the wines are clean, crips and fruity with a balanced minerality.  This family is known for Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer.  As with other Alsatian producers, they not only produce still but sparkling wines in this region, known as Crémant d’Alsace.  This family sticks to the tradition of the region showcasing the expression of the unique Alsace terroir. 

The cuvée is a blend of 40% chardonnay, 35% pinot blanc, 25% riesling, all organically grown, with a light 6 g/l dosage.  

Pale lemon color. Sparkly aromas of rich buttery shortbread, red apple and lemon. The palate is dry with a lemony freshness in a creamy mouthful of bubbles that carries the chalk, white peach, pear, honeysuckle, straw, buttery shortbread and brioche.   It’s refreshing, delicious and a great quality valued sparkling wine alternative to champagne.
