Jean-Luc Mader Crémant d'Alsace

Producer: Jean-Luc Mader

Region: Alsace, France

Grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc

Wine - Sparkling - White

Bright, fruity and deliciously crisp with a creamy mousse, this is a citrus and apple flavored wine. It has a bone-dry character with a mineral and lemon zest texture. It’s ready to drink. Powerful aroma with mussel shells, toasted sourdough bread, walnuts and various citrus tones. Broad, mouth filling flavor, fine mousse, lovely acidity and barely perceptible sweetness in the long, savory finish. The quality is created by storage up to three years on lees after the secondary fermentation.

Jerome Mader is a winemaker on the rise. His parents began working with their parcels in 1981, and since 2005 Jerome has been increasing the quality of the wines through meticulous farming, having converted the estate to organic farming in 2007. The family owns 9.6 hectares in four communes: Hunawihr, Ribeauvillé, Riquewihr and Kientzheim, and these holdings include village, lieu-dits, and grand cru parcels. We are thrilled to import these wines, as they provide a true representation of the heights that great Alsatian wines can reach.
