Grands Vins & Crémants d'Alsace

In the Crémant d'Alsace family we all have our old favourites, the timeless classics you can always depend on to celebrate life's special moments, or to make an ordinary moment special with a welcome burst of bubbles. But the family also has its more complex, refined members. These 'Grand Prestige' wines are bastions of excellence and authenticity. Those special bottles which, safely stowed in the narrow racks of our maturing cellars, really do become members of the family for our oenologists. Theirs is a relationship forged through the mysterious maturing process, that long shared journey which ultimately yields wines of great finesse and character, with a decidedly gastronomic flair!

Like a perfect music that we like to listen to in order to relax, like a person we meet one day and with whom we share many passions, the 'Chasseurs de Lune Wines"vvintages, characteristic of their grape variety and representative of the AOC Alsace Appellation are sure values, those that will never disappoint us and that we can count on...

The blue bottles "Rayon de Lune" by Bestheim

The Cuvée "Rayon de Lune" is taken from the story of the villagers of Bennwihr nicknamed the "Moon Chasers" ("Mondfanger" in Alsatian). These cuvées are dedicated to them. The Moon is a key element of this range presented in exclusive blue bottles, blue similar to the colour of the sky lit by the Moon Rays.

Late Harvest and Sélection de Grains Nobles, the fruit of exceptional harvest years

The Late Harvest and Noble Grape Selections come from grapes harvested when over-ripe and affected by noble rot, which is called Botrytis cinerea. Present on the berries, the latter initiates a phenomenon of evaporation inside the grape and thus promotes the concentration of sugar and aromas, bringing softness and power to these wines.
