Melanie Pfister, Breit Crémant Rosé Brut, Alsace
3 in stock
The Pfister domaine is situated in the village of Dahlenheim at the northern tip of Alsace, just west of Strasbourg. This corner of Alsace has a cooler climate than further south in the Haut Rhin and the limestone-dominated vineyards are perfectly situated to produce fresh, energetic wines. Mélanie is the eighth generation of her family to run the estate and took over from her father in 2006 after completing an impressive number of internships at Zind-Humbrecht, Méo-Camuzet, Cheval Blanc, d’Yquem and Craggy Range. In 2018, the domaine decided to convert entirely to organic practices and they were fully certified in 2021. They also use biodynamic preparations.
The ‘Breit’ is the impressive Crémant d’Alsace, a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Auxerrois. This is aged on its lees for a minimum of two years and the dosage is just 3g/l.
