DOMAINE KLUR, France
While founder Clement Klur is still very much involved at every stage of the process, he has now joined forces with neighbour Leon Heitzmann and their joint efforts are reflected in the increasing quality of the wines. The vineyards are tranquil places, full of fruit trees dotted amongst the vines that attract and offer shelter to local wildlife – a symbiotic relationship that helps to maintain the health and balance of the land. The steepness of the vineyards means the harvest is carried out by hand, enabling the pickers to choose only the healthiest fruit and ensuring that the resulting wine is always of the highest quality.
Viticulture
The Klurs are doing what the family had done ever since the 17th century: producing the best wines that the soil can generate. Nestled in a small valley in the middle of the region, the vineyards are protected from the strong westerly winds. The average vine age is at least 50 years old, with deep roots into the soil the wines are well structured, complex and full bodied.
Winemaking
Only native yeasts are used in the winery and minimal use of sulphur in all of the wines. The Cremant has Zero added SO2
- Ecologically, the Klurs do whatever they can to work on harmony with nature and reduce the impact in the environment.
