✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic village of Eguisheim, the cradle of Alsatian viticulture, Wolfberger has championed the region's diverse terroirs since 1902. While Chardonnay in Alsace is famously reserved for the sparkling Cr mant d'Alsace, this rare still bottling, ' lev en F t de Ch ne,' showcases a bold, Burgundian-inspired approach. Grown on mineral-rich clay-limestone soils, the grapes undergo fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. This traditional technique seamlessly marries the signature bright, cool-climate acidity of Alsace with luxurious notes of toasted brioche, vanilla, and ripe stone fruits, offering a unique and captivating expression of a classic grape in unexpected territory.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1902 in the historic village of Eguisheim, Wolfberger was established when visionary local winegrowers united to create one of Alsace's most prominent and influential cooperative houses. A pioneer in regional innovation, the producer played an instrumental role in the official establishment of the Crémant d'Alsace AOC in 1976, harmonizing centuries-old regional tradition with modern winemaking precision. Wolfberger carefully oversees a vast mosaic of Alsace terroirs, emphasizing sustainable viticulture and meticulous parcel selection. The house is widely acclaimed for its classic single-varietal expressions—including aromatic Gewurztraminer, mineral-driven Riesling, and structured Pinot Noir—alongside elegant Crémant sparkling wines, lusciously concentrated Vendanges Tardives, and traditional fruit brandies.
