The fruit is hand-harvested to ensure pristine bunches, a crucial step when pressing for sparkling wine.

The modern chapter began in 1816 when Captain François-Antoine Allimant, returning from Napoleon’s campaigns, acquired vineyards on the slopes of the Haut-Koenigsbourg and a 1664 farmhouse in Orschwiller, which still serves as the estate’s home. Over more than 10 generations, the family gradually moved from mixed farming to a dedicated wine focus, with Charles Allimant bottling his own wines from 1949 and expanding distribution with his daughter Mariette and her husband René Laugner. Today, the domaine is managed by the Laugner family, who are known in Alsace for crafting precise, characterful wines that respect the region’s heritage while embracing thoughtful modernity. Working with natural methods, minimal intervention, and a strong commitment to environmental stewardship—alternating ploughed and grassed rows, hand work in the vines, natural yeasts, and carefully controlled stainless-steel fermentations—Domaine Allimant-Laugner has earned a reputation as one of Alsace’s most reliable and quality-driven producers, particularly celebrated for its outstanding Crémant d’Alsace.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Allimant-Laugner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251805245777,"sku":"GCW-ALLI-21001","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/Domaine_AllimantLaugner_Cremant_dAlsace_Blanc__1.png?v=1783441528"},{"product_id":"domaine-allimant-laugner-cremant-dalsace-rose","title":"Domaine Allimant-Laugner Cremant d'Alsace Rose","description":"\u003cp\u003eDomaine Allimant-Laugner Crémant d’Alsace Rosé is a vibrant, traditional-method sparkling wine that proves just how impressive Crémant from Alsace can be.

The climate of Alsace, sheltered by the Vosges mountains, offers a long, steady growing season ideal for ripening Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay with balanced sugar and acid. Harvest is typically carried out at relatively low potential alcohol and often by hand to ensure the grapes arrive at the press in perfect condition—crucial for high‑quality sparkling wine. Gentle pneumatic pressing extracts only the purest juice, which is then fermented at controlled, cool temperatures in stainless steel to retain aromatic delicacy and freshness. After the base wines are blended, the traditional method (méthode traditionnelle) is used: the wine undergoes a second fermentation in bottle and is aged on its lees for many months, developing fine bubbles, a creamy texture and subtle autolytic notes before riddling, disgorgement and a carefully judged dosage to achieve a balanced Brut style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Crémant d’Alsace is remarkably versatile at the table.
