Breit Extra Brut is an exhilarating Alsace sparkling wine that marries brioche richness with zesty citrus, fine mousse and steely mineral tension, make it ideal for marking life’s brightest moments.
Domaine Mélanie Pfister sits in Dahlenheim’s cooler, limestone-rich vineyards at Alsace’s northern tip. Mélanie, eighth-generation vigneronne, farms 43 parcels organically and vinifies each separately for pinpoint purity. “Breit” honours the Hangenbreite “wide slope” where Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois flourish.
Hand-harvested whole bunches are pressed gently and fermented (alcoholic & malolactic) in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve vibrant fruit. The wine spends just under 24 months on its lees after traditional bottle fermentation, before disgorgement in January 2024.
This Extra Brut stands out for its extended lees ageing and extra-low dosage (3 g/l), delivering layered brioche depth without sacrificing freshness.
Pairing Suggestions: Fine oysters, buttery gougères or a citrus-topped tarte au citron.
Tasting Note: Floral nose with nutty brioche overtones on the nose. The palate opens with citrus blossom, creamy vanilla and orchard fruits, finishing precise and mineral-driven.
