70% Pinot Blanc, 30% Auxerrois

Vinification and Élevage: Sparkling wine production takes place on the estate, from vin clair to finished product. The vin clair for Crémant Brut and Crémant Brut Rosé is aged in stainless steel, and after secondary fermentation is completed, stays sur latte (on the lees) for 18-24 months.

Tasting Notes: Fine mouse, very persistent. Expressive nose with fresh, floral aromas. The palate
is discrete, a wine of great balance and finesse. Elegant, refreshing finish.

The Braun Family produces limited quantities of award-winning Cremant from their organically farmed hillside vineyards in Alsace. Fermented in the bottle according to the "methode traditionelle" and aged for 24 months, this elegant sparkling wine will charm you with its subtlety and finesse. Enjoy these delicate bubbles as a refreshing aperitif or to celebrate life's daily pleasures.

The Braun Family can trace their roots in Alsace back to 1523, and have been making wine in the village of Orschwihr since 1902. Today, Domaine Camille Braun consists of 15 hectares of vines in or near Orschwihr, including the Grand Cru site “Pfingstberg,” documented since 1299, and single sites Bollenberg, Lippelsberg, Effenberg and Meissenberg. Under the watchful care of Christophe and Chantal Braun, the farming has been organic for the past 15 years and has been biodynamic since 2005. Production is just over 8,000 cases. The result of this labor has been numerous awards, including the Prize for Excellence at the Concours National in 2000, awarded for the consistent quality of all their wines, and in 2006 the Gold Medal at the Concours National des Crémants for their Crémant d’Alsace Brut.
