Crémant d'Alsace Giersberger Brut
クレマン・ダルザス・ギールスベルガー・ブリュット
Cave de Ribeauvillé
Pinot Blanc · Auxerrois
About this wine
A traditional-method Crémant d'Alsace made from roughly 80% Pinot Blanc and 20% Auxerrois, blended with 25-30% reserve wines. Bright light gold with green reflections, showing white flowers, lemongrass, and green apple, with lively acidity and a well-integrated, refreshing mousse.
An everyday-Champagne alternative — same traditional method, friendlier price.
Sommelier's Note
"Named for the Giersberg site above Ribeauvillé, this is the Cave's most reliable crowd-pleaser — real traditional-method finesse at an everyday price."
Food Pairings
A versatile aperitif sparkling wine; equally at home with oysters, tempura, and sushi thanks to its citrus-driven acidity.
When to drink it
Celebrations, aperitif, brunch, and any occasion calling for bubbles without the Champagne price tag.

クロ・デュ・ザナケール
Clos du Zahnacker
WhiteRiesling · Pinot Gris · Gewurztraminer
Cave de Ribeauvillé's rarest and most historic cuvée: a field blend of equal parts Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer, co-harvested, co-pressed, and co-fermented from a single 1.24-hectare walled parcel within the Osterberg Grand Cru. Documented since the 8th century and exclusive to the cooperative since 1965, it shows a powerful, complex nose mixing Riesling's petrol edge, Pinot Gris's smokiness, and Gewurztraminer's rose and spice, with citrus, fig, and gunflint on a full, structured palate.
