Domaine Amelie & Charles Sparr White Blend 'Cerisier en Fleur'
Introduction
Domaine Amelie & Charles Sparr White Blend 'Cerisier en Fleur' is a white wine from France, produced in the Alsace region, and is classified as a Vin de France (VdF). The Domaine was recently established in 2017 by Amélie and Charles Sparr, who both hail from esteemed, long standing winemaking families in Alsace. Their philosophy is a bold one: to create terroir true, dry wines using manual and artisanal techniques, with all vineyards converted to organic and biodynamic practices. The name 'Cerisier en Fleur' translates to 'Cherry Blossom,' referencing the wine's light, floral character.
Wine Description
The wine is a special white blend. The varietal composition is a blend of Riesling, Muscat, and Pinot Blanc. Some sources also mention a blend that includes Pinot Gris. The grapes are sourced from gravel, clay, and limestone soils.
It is a medium bodied wine. The aromatic profile is fresh, with notes of melon and Asian pears, a touch of minty freshness, and a desirable aromatic intrigue. The Muscat grape contributes a distinct floral touch. The palate is succulent, silky, vibrant, and fresh. The Riesling provides a notable acidity, keeping the wine lively. Stylistically, it is smart, fresh, and modern, offering a very dry profile with less than 2 g/L residual sugar. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The finish is clean and invigorating. The ABV is 12.5%. It is a multi vintage blend. The vineyards are farmed using organic and biodynamic principles. Information on the optimal drinking window is not available in the sources.
