Frequently asked questions

Is Alsace Muscat sweet?

No. Unlike the Muscats of southern France, which are often sweet wines, Alsace Muscat is usually dry. Ours is made with almost no sugar: it smells of fresh grapes but tastes dry. For a sweet Muscat, try our Muscat Vendanges Tardives.

What aromas can I expect?

Fresh grapes, as if you were biting into a bunch, with floral notes and rose. The palate is lively and light, with a clean finish.

What food goes with it?

It is the classic Alsace aperitif, with a kougelhopf. At the table, it goes with asparagus, light starters, avocado and fish in delicate sauces.

How is it made?

Our Muscat grapes grow in Scherwiller, on stony soils. They are picked early to keep their freshness and pressed straight away, then the wine ferments at low temperature in stainless steel tanks to keep all its aromas. The vineyard is certified High Environmental Value (level 3).

At what temperature should I serve it, and how long will it keep?

Serve it at 8–10 °C. Drink it young, within 2 to 3 years, while the fruit is at its freshest.
