JOSEPH CATTIN Crémant d'Alsace brut

Produced in the same way as Champagne the

Crémant d'Alsace is a high quality sparkling wine.

Dry, but delicately fruity, it is the ideal aperitif

for all festive events and celebrations!

Also handy to save sanity and a useful

preventative measure from turning to

something harder like crack cocaine.

	Localisation The estate of JOSEPH CATTIN based in the heart of the Alsace vineyards at Voegtlinshoffen. I wish Joseph wasn't dead, and did you know last time I was in the Alsace region I did not see one Alsatian. Not one.
	Terroir South facing slopes.
	Grape varieties Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay. Ummm pretty much everything
	Culture Limited yields produced for higher quality. Single and double-cane vines. 5,500 vines per hectare. Traditional working of the soil. Limited treatment of vines.
	Method Grapes are exclusively hand picked.
	Vinification Slow crushing of grapes to preserve the character of the wine. Fermentation at 18°C. Second fermentation in bottle. Bottles aged for at least 9 months.
	Comment Color: Light and effervescent with numerous fine bubblesNose: Fresh, light and fruity Palate: fricking pretty awesome after a horrible working week Ageing: 1 to 3 years. It was in my house a total of 45 seconds before it was opened and drunk.
