Putojantis sausas
This sparkling wine is produced by the Method Traditional. The second fermentation of the wines takes place in the bottle. It rests over 11 years on the yeast, before the first tranche is disgorged. Very fine mousse, bright yellow colour with notes of citrus and stone fruit flavours. Fine creaminess, coupled with some length in the after taste.
Serve at 8-10 °C with marinated salmon or fish in light sauces.
Disgorged in January 2022, the 2009 Georg Breuer Brut offers a beautifully matured and slightly oxidative bouquet of perfectly ripe and open-hearted fruits. This nose makes me think of cream sauces with white meat, mushrooms and morels. Rich yet pure and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, powerful, complex and long sparkling wine that is more wine than sparkling and richer than any other wine here at the domaine. This is a spectacular blend of equal parts Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir aged in small and large oak vats for a year prior to aging in bottle. Disgorged as Brut Nature yet designated as Brut.
The estate, founded in 1880 as part of a wine merchant company, has been owned by the Breuer family since the beginning of the 20th century. Georg Breuer enlarged the estate and increased the export of wines. His sons Bernhard and Heinrich and later Bernhard’s daughter Theresa expanded the vineyard size to 40 hectares in the best Rüdesheim, Rauenthal and Lorch sites. From the early 80’s Bernhard Breuer’s efforts gained an international reputation for the estate. Today it is managed by his daughter Theresa Breuer and production manager of many years, Hermann Schmoranz, with the assistance of cellar master Markus Lundén.
