About Ruhlmann Cremant D'Alsace Extra Brut NV
Nestled at the bottom of the mountain, on the “Route des Vins” between Strasbourg and Colmar, that’s where Dambach-la-Ville is located, former fortified place in the Middle-Age. Today, its face has changed but its standing remains, becoming one of the masterpieces of the Alsacian vineyard. It is on those sunny hillsides, with the perfect conditions for growing wine, that the Ruhlmann-Schutz family settled up in 1688.
Since they came in the town, the family carries on its precious knowledge. More than 300 years later, the wine domain extends over 70 hectares including 40 in Alsace. The perfect balance between the yesteryears and today that shows in the wine. That same balance passed on to the new generation, that take up the torch of the elders with the same love for typical products.
Ruhlmann Crémant Extra Brut is a refined aperitif, its freshness and character will also enhance a multitude of meals. The vines are planted on plains and semi-slopes, on an alluvial soil, which filters the water while retaining the heat. An elegant effervescence with very fine persistent bubbles characterizes this Crémant. With a fresh attack, it presents in the mouth the balance of a very "winy" wine, and is very persistent.
Wine Enthusiast scored this 90 points saying "Richer notes of cream signal rounded richness: indeed the palate is creamy and mellow, with hints of lemon and baked apple. There even is something nutty around the edges of this elegant rounded wine which is nonetheless light-bodied and fresh. The dry finish is reassuringly long."
