Freudenreich
Within Alsace’s concentric villages, Freudenreich in Eguisheim tells an unusually long line: the family has been in the same house since 1653, with Julien‑Arthur and Jean‑Luc now the 14th generation. Above them rises Grand Cru Pfersigberg—east to south‑east facing slopes on marl‑limestone rendzina and Muschelkalk pebbles, a terroir that prefers structure to spectacle.
For Crémant d’Alsace, the Méthode Traditionnelle is treated as ritual: selected parcels, gentle pressing, Tirage in bottle, ageing sur lattes, then Remuage on Pupitres and a precise disgorgement. The grape architecture follows the region—Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Riesling; the rosé is exclusively Pinot Noir.
The story avoids perfume and stays with lineage: perlage as the handwriting of limestone and discipline, carried by generations who don’t need to “modernise”—they already are time.Freudenreich
