Description
Steinbach, a mythical place for pinot noir production, is nicknamed the Steinbacher Rôta, which means Red of Steinbach. Those vines have a limited yield and produce, indeed, fruity and compelling nectar. The church and the chapel of the village are dedicated to St Morand, the patron saint of winemakers since the 11th century. The legend says that one day Morand was greeting some guests while having an empty barrel. After making a cross sign, the barrel filled up itself without ever getting empty again! Clear; elegant salmon pink appearance with an abundant and dynamic bubbles. Fruity on the nose, especially red fruits such as cherry and black currants. The palate is refreshing and creamy with fruity aromas such as strawberries and lemon. A clean and long lasting finish.

Varietal
Champagne Blend
The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn’t unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as ‘blanc de blanc’, meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or ‘blanc de noir’, which is made solely with Pinot Noir.
