Brand et Fils La Chimre NV

Description

Brand et Fils La Chimère is a distinctive white wine produced in the Alsace region of France. Crafted exclusively from Riesling grapes, this wine employs the solera method, blending multiple vintages—specifically 2017, 2018, and 2019—to achieve complexity and depth. The grapes are gently pressed as whole clusters, initiating spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. Aging occurs over three years in a large oak barrel known as a foudre, allowing the wine to develop nuanced flavors. Notably, La Chimère is bottled without filtration, clarification, or the addition of sulfur, adhering to natural winemaking principles and showcasing the pure expression of the Riesling varietal.
