WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Lindenlaub Crémant d'Alsace Brut is produced using the traditional method, which involves a second fermentation in the bottle to create its sparkling character. Domaine Lindenlaub employs organic farming practices, including cover cropping and biodynamic preparations, to maintain soil health. In the cellar, the approach is minimally interventionist, with a focus on preserving the natural character of the grapes. Fermentation and aging often take place in stainless steel tanks to ensure freshness and precision. Some of Christophe Lindenlaub's wines are produced with zero added sulfites and are bottled unfined and unfiltered.
