Tasting Notes

The “Blanc de blancs” is made using the traditional method from 70% Auxerrois, 30% Pinot Blanc grapes, chosen for their fresh and dry characteristics. The bottle ages for a minimum of 15 months on its fine lees, which deliver the wine’s creamy and mouth-filling mid palate, and the consistency of its bubbles. The nose shows beautiful aromas of fresh green apple and the palate is dry, crisp and refreshing, making it the perfect aperitif. 400 cases produced.

Critical Praise

“Clean, fragrant, evolving, Sohler's cremant 2016 offers a complex mix of fresh and candied citrus fruit, fresh wheat and hay, and other notes indicative of traditional method autolysis. The Palate is replete with candied lemon and wheat flavours, dry, balanced, engaging and complex. Very good length. Quality bubbles. Tasted September 2020.” - 91 pts (John Szabo, MS, WineAlign.com)

"A leaner, more spirited, herbal and also gingery Crémant but it also sneaks up in terms of texture and sentient behaviour. Striking and overtly complex, not a hidden set of unforeseen circumstances but outwardly dramatic and forthright. Toasty and lots of spices; cardamom, cumin, coriander and so forth. Drink 2020-2026. Tasted September 2020." - 91 pts (Michael Godel, WineAlign.com)
