2021 Achillée Pépin Extra Brut Cremant, Alsace, FR
Yves Dietrich and his sons Pierre and Jean have created a truly unique microcosm. Yves is in charge of the vineyard, Jean is in charge of the cellar and Pierre is in charge of the commercial side. In 1991, Yves took over the family farm, which he converted to organic in 1999, then to biodynamic in 2003. The estate has 18 hectares and the wines are precise and direct, engaging and clear.
This 2021 cuvée is a certified-organic blend of 35% Auxerrois, 30% Pinot gris, 25% Pinot Blanc, 10% Chardonnay from Scherwillerm, Alsace, vinified in stainless steel. Fine, persistent bubbles with crisp acidity. Fresh citrus fruit and brioche notes on the finish.
