The story begins in 1747 with their ancestor, who decided to invest in a piece of land to work the vine. With great fascination and curiosity, he cultivated the vine to harvest its fruit, the grape. This passion has been passed on from generation to generation until today. Seven generations later, the Domaine works 13 hectares of vines, spread over 5 communes and a hundred or so plots. Today, Michel Fonné has been at the head of the estate since 1989. He himself took over from his uncle René Barth, a winegrower, by adding the land of his parents, winegrowers.
Tasting notes
To the eye, fine bubbles rise in regular columns; the colour is light yellow with occasional golden hues. On the nose, one appreciates the aromas of white fruits, white flowers as well as some notes of dried fruits. On the palate, there is a nice fruity freshness that allows one to appreciate the volume of the wine and its delicate effervescence.
Food pairing
Cremant d’Alsace makes a refined aperitif and an ideal cocktail or reception drink. Fresh and discreetly fruity, it also provides the inspiration for a host of gastronomic partnerships throughout a meal, from cold or warm starters, via seafood, white meats and game to dessert.
