Description
What kind of wine it is
Domaine Bott Geyl Cremant d’Alsace Cuvee Paul-Eduard Extra Brut is a refined sparkling wine that elegantly expresses the essence of its terroir. Produced using the Traditional Method, it is crafted from a harmonious blend of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It appears a bright straw yellow in the glass, while the bouquet offers notes of pear, peach, hazelnut, and white and yellow flowers. On the palate, it stands out for its smooth yet taut development, supported by lively acidity and a pronounced minerality. Its dry profile makes it perfect to pair with fish tartare, white fish dishes, and delicate cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Beblenheim, in the heart of Alsace, at Bott-Geyl, a historic estate whose roots date back to 1795. Under the guidance of Jean-Christophe Bott, the winery manages fifteen hectares of vineyards, including some prestigious Grands Crus. The production philosophy is based on the principles of organic and biodynamic viticulture, aiming to preserve the integrity of the ecosystem and achieve low yields to enhance fruit quality. This meticulous care in the vineyard gives the Crémant d’Alsace extraordinary territorial depth, ensuring excellent ageing potential ranging from five to ten years.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a manual harvest, essential for selecting perfectly intact bunches. In the winery, a natural vinification is followed, strictly adhering to the Traditional Method. The wine matures on the lees for twenty-four months before disgorgement, a prolonged ageing period that enriches its aromatic complexity and defines its structure. The choice of the Extra Brut style preserves the wine’s natural tension, delivering a dry, persistent, and balanced finish, reflecting the winemaking vocation of this renowned Alsatian estate.
