Domaine Allimant-Laugner Cremant d'Alsace Cuvée Platine Extra Brut

Domaine Allimant-Laugner Crémant d'Alsace Cuvée Platine Extra Brut is a finely crafted sparkling rosé from one of Alsace’s most respected family estates. Made in the traditional method with minimal dosage, it offers a bone-dry, precise style that highlights purity of fruit and terroir rather than sweetness. As part of the Crémant d’Alsace AOC, this cuvée showcases the region’s long-standing talent for producing elegant, Champagne-rivaling sparkling wines at exceptional value.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Cuvée Platine Rosé typically shows a delicate, pale salmon to rose-gold hue with a fine, persistent bead of tiny bubbles that speaks to its careful bottle fermentation. On the nose, expect bright notes of wild strawberry, redcurrant, and raspberry, layered with hints of citrus zest, white flowers, and a subtle chalky minerality. The palate is brisk and ultra-refreshing, driven by taut acidity and a very dry, extra-brut profile. Red berry fruit is clean and precise, supported by nuances of pink grapefruit, blood orange, and a lightly toasty, brioche-like undertone from extended lees contact. The finish is long, linear, and saline, making this a perfect aperitif-style rosé with real finesse and structure. Best enjoyed in its youth to capture its vibrancy, but it can comfortably age for 3–5 years, developing a creamier texture and more pronounced autolytic complexity over time.

Production
Sourced from estate vineyards in the Crémant d’Alsace AOC, Cuvée Platine is shaped by a cool continental climate, sun-drenched slopes, and well-drained, mixed soils of limestone and clay that help preserve acidity and aromatic intensity. Grapes (with a strong emphasis on Pinot Noir for rosé) are typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to balance freshness and fruit concentration, then gently pressed to obtain a lightly tinted must. The base wine is fermented at controlled temperatures in stainless steel to retain purity and precision, followed by a secondary fermentation in bottle according to the traditional method. After aging on the lees to build texture and complexity, the wine is disgorged with an extra-brut dosage, resulting in an exceptionally dry, focused sparkling rosé.

Food & Serving
This extra-brut Crémant d’Alsace rosé is superb with refined, lighter dishes: think salmon sashimi, tuna tartare, smoked trout, shrimp cocktails, or fresh oysters with a mignonette. It also pairs beautifully with charcuterie, soft-ripened cheeses like Brie or Chaource, and delicate poultry dishes, as well as vegetarian plates featuring roasted beetroot or grilled vegetables. Serve well chilled at around 6–8°C (43–46°F) in a tulip-shaped sparkling wine glass to highlight both aroma and texture. A brief 10–15 minutes open in the glass is enough; extended decanting is not necessary, though enjoying it over the course of a meal allows its layers to gradually unfold.
