Domaine Bechtold Cremant d'Alsace Extra Brut, Alsace 2019
Jean-Marie Bechtold is the fourth generation to steward this traditional domaine. He began working with his father in 1980 and took the reins in 1995. The estate is located in Dahlenheim, west of Strasbourg in the slopes of the “Couronne d’Or”, a region with 2000 years of viticultural history.
Winemaker: Jean-Marie Bechtold
Farming: Certified biodynamic
Variety: Chardonnay and Pinot Auxerrois (with a touch of Pinot Noir)
Terroir: all in a lattice of limestone marls on steep south/southeast-facing slopes. Vines between 20-40 years old
Vinification: He minimizes intervention during the vinification to allow the wines to express their own character and to remain faithful to the vintage. Virtually all fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks with the objective of capturing the fresh acidity and typical dry style of the region.
