Domaine Pfister Cremant d'Alsace Blanc de Blancs 2014 750 ML

Domaine Pfister began life in 1780 during our Revolutionary War. That seems a long time ago, until you learn that Pfister?s village of Dahlenheim was favorably noted for wine production in the distant year of 884. A written record has survived, detailing how the village supplied wine to the Abbey of Saint Michel de Honan during that era. Dahlenheim was an important center of wine production throughout the Middle Ages as well. It?s located due west of Strasbourg in the northern reaches of the Bas Rhin, (legally, a separate department from the Haut Rhin, and meaning, simply, lower down the Rhine River?but keep in mind that the Rhine flows north to the Baltic).
