Sparkling dry
An elegant and expressive Crémant d'Alsace that beautifully captures the region’s finesse and aging tradition, the Domaine Bott-Geyl Paul-Édouard Extra Brut is a sparkling gem from an esteemed Alsace family.
This cuvée shows a bright straw-yellow color and is animated by a fine, persistent perlage, hinting at extended lees aging. On the nose, expect a harmonious blend of citrus, white fruit, green apple, and delicate floral notes, layered with hints of yeast, brioche, and honey—all contributing to its complexity.
On the palate, the wine is lively, mineral-driven, and elegantly dry, maintaining crisp freshness with a bone-dry finish. Its balanced structure showcases the softness of ‘Pinot Blanc’, the minerality of ‘Chardonnay’, and the subtle body of ‘Pinot Noir’.
Winemaking follows the traditional method: hand-harvested grapes of ‘Pinot Blanc’, ‘Chardonnay’, and ‘Pinot Noir’ are fermented with native yeast for the primary fermentation in steel, followed by a second fermentation in the bottle.
The wine rests on its lees for 24 months, allowing layers of texture and finesse to develop with minimal dosage for a crisp, refined profile.
Serve at 6-8 °C with oysters, sea food or light fish dishes.
Subtle notes of dried lemon peel on this wine's nose hint at pithy depth. The bone-dry palate shows lovely concentration and exactly that citrus pithiness that was suggested on the nose. Fine, creamy bubbles add a sense of ease to this wine that is elegant, vivid and mouthwatering.
Jean-Christophe Bott is heir to the family tradition dating back to 1795, when his ancestor, Jean-Martin Geyl tended his vines and made his wine. Jean-Christophe Bott has been responsible for Domaine Bott-Geyl since 1993 and he converted the vineyards to be organic in 2000 and then biodynamic in 2002. In the vineyards he concentrates on low yields and in the cellars he oversees the vinification in the most natural and minimalist manner. The whole art is to bring together tradition and modernity, to perpetuate the vignoble for posterity and to protect its ecology.
