The collection of Alsace cremants

The KiN Group presents a new trend of elite French beverages - Crémant d’Alsace (Alsatian cremants) of Pfaffenheim. Alsatian cremants are sparking wines made in a historic French province called Alsace. Only a limited part of France - Champagne - has the right to assign the name 'champagne' to sparkling wines made in the region.

Winemakers from other regions do not have this privilege and use the word "Cremant", adding to it the name of the province, where the wine is produced - for example, Crémant d’Alsace. Alsatian cremants are quite competitive with sparkling wines made in the Champagne region, concerning the conditions and methods of their production. Their distinctive features are lightness, refinement and impeccable quality, and they are doubly attractive to consumers because of reasonable price.

Alsatian cremants from Pfaffenheim are matured during 30 months instead of 9 months, warrantable by law. After the use of this method the wine accepts a soft fragrance, that cannot be compared to any other.

Cremants of Pfaffenheim are perfect aperitives. They can be served with any dish at any time of day.     
Alsatian cremants can also be stored for three years. They are served at the temperature or 7-8 C best of all.

Terroir

Alsace vineyards, adjacent to Vosges Mountains and exposed to Rhein, take up the area of nearly 13 thousand  hectares and yield the crop of nearly 1 million hectoliters of wine per year on the average. This region is distincted by rather dry climate and it is incredibly sunny in late autumn. There is a great variety of soils - granitic rocks, limestones, marls, sandstones and slits - that ensures the unique fertility of this wine growing zone.

Grape varieties

Alsace is one of the few regions in France, in which wines are named after the grape variety they have been made of. Crémants d’Alsace are made from the following grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris.
