Domaine Bechtold Cremant d'Alsace Extra Brut 2021

The Bechtold estate is located in Dahlenheim, west of Strasbourg in the slopes of the “Couronne d’Or”, a region with 2000 years of viticultural history. Current steward Jean-Marie Bechtold is the fourth generation at this traditional domaine. He began working with his father in 1980 and took the reins in 1995. This Cremant is a dry sparkling wine from the northern reaches of the Bas Rhine of Alsace, a blend of equal parts of Chardonnay and Pinot Auxerrois (with a touch of Pinot Noir). The domaine’s small parcels yields limited quantities of this delightful wine, bursting with orchard fruits and mineral intrigue
