Crafted under the strict guidelines of the biodynamic pioneer Domaine Dirler-Cad , this Cr mant d'Alsace Brut Nature Ros is a sparkling testament to the purity of Alsatian Pinot Noir. The estate utilizes the traditional method, allowing the wine to undergo its secondary fermentation in the bottle. Because it is finished as a 'Brut Nature' (without any added dosage), it offers an unadorned, crystalline expression of the clay and limestone soils of Bergholtz. The history of sparkling wine in Alsace dates back to the late 19th century, but Dirler-Cad elevates this tradition by employing horse-drawn plowing and cosmic rhythms in the vineyard, ensuring that the hand-harvested Pinot Noir grapes retain their vibrant acidity, delicate red berry aromas, and deep mineral resonance.

Now run by the fifth generation, Jean-Christophe Dirler and his wife Ludivine Cadé, the estate expanded in 1998 through the union of their family vineyards. The domaine is deeply committed to ecological balance, achieving full biodynamic certification and utilizing traditional horse-drawn plowing to preserve the soils of their prestigious Grand Cru plots, including Kessler, Spiegel, Saering, and Kitterlé. They are highly acclaimed for their precise, terroir-driven white wines, particularly mineral-rich Rieslings, expressive Pinot Gris, and elegant Gewurztraminers.Lineage and respect for the land define their craft, producing wines of exceptional purity and longevity.Address: 13 Rue d'Orschwihr, 68500 Bergholtz, Alsace, France.
