Description
A multigenerational estate based in Riquewihr underpins the production of the NV Marcel Hugg Crémant d’Alsace Brut, shaped by sourcing from diverse Alsatian vineyards rooted in granite, limestone, and sandstone soils. Fruit is drawn primarily from cooler exposures that deliver the acidity essential for traditional method production in the region’s variable climate. Sustainable vineyard practices emphasize canopy control and yield moderation to preserve structural balance from season to season. Grapes are pressed with restraint and fermented in stainless steel to maintain clarity in the base wines before secondary fermentation takes place in bottle. Extended lees aging follows, allowing the components to integrate gradually in line with established Crémant practices. Within the portfolio, this Brut cuvée serves as a reference expression, defined by long standing grower partnerships and a cellar program oriented toward measured development and stylistic continuity.
