Alsace Willm - Brut RoseNV

ROSE SPARKLING

Estate

In 1896 the Willm family founded the Willm Estate in Barr, at the foot of the majestic Kirchberg de Barr Grand Cru vineyard. Willm has always been concerned with revealing the best of its terroirs and sharing its exceptional wines with the whole world. Thanks to the adventurous founder Emile WILLM, the estate’s wines were the first from Alsace to be exported to the United States in the early 1930s, after prohibition laws were lifted. Their wines are celebrated for their blend freshness, minerality and elegance; they are synonymous with tradition, terroir, purity and refinement.

Tasting notes

Made with Pinot Noir, this Crémant Rosé has great roundness and texture. Hints of nice pink reflections are supported by an elegant effervescence. Delicate red fruit character with an expressive bouquet of delicate cherry, cassis and raspberry. Fresh and fruity with soft and mature tannins embedded in a delicate sweetness. This sparkler is an invitation to festive occasions. Created at the Brut level with 7g/l of residual sugar.

Vineyard

The Willm vineyard is located in the Barr region of northern Alsace at an altitude of 200-400 meters, extending from the mountainous base of the Vosges to the plains of Alsace and the Rhine. Bordered by the Vosges Mountains to the west, the Barr hillsides benefit from a dry and sunny microclimate thanks to their south-southeast exposure, optimal for cultivating the vines. The fluctuation between warm days and cool nights in autumn is conducive to a slow, prolonged grape maturation.
