Sekt Tradition Brut 2021

BurkhardtSchür Sekt Tradition Brut – Craftsmanship, Depth, Pure Balance

The BurkhardtSchür Sekt Tradition Brut 2021 combines Franconian craftsmanship with the elegance of traditional bottle fermentation. This harmonious cuvée of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, the classic Champagne grape varieties, matures for 30 months on the lees and impresses with its finest perlage, lively freshness, and complex aromas, offering a great introduction to the sparkling wine world of Lena Burkhardt and Sebastian Schür.

Tradition Brut - all the important details at a glance:

• Long lees aging: 30 months on the lees for a fine, creamy texture and persistent perlage.
• Terroir-driven fruitiness: Grapes from Bürgstadt, Taubertal & Kaiserstuhl provide minerality, freshness, and complexity.
• Traditional method: Spontaneous fermentation in wooden barrels, malolactic fermentation, followed by a second fermentation in the bottle – with a minimal dosage of 2 g/l – Tirage 08-2021 – Disgorged 02-2025

A Masterpiece of German Sparkling Wine Culture

The careful selection of grapes, the 11-month aging of the base wines on fine lees in large wooden barrels, in the so-called "Doppelstück," and the traditional bottle fermentation combine in this Sekt to create a distinctive masterpiece. With its exceptional balance and finesse, it is one of the highest-rated German Sekts in its class.

And it's not just the grape varieties, Pinot Meunier (75%), Pinot Noir (20%), and a small proportion of Chardonnay (5%), that align with the grand Sekts of Champagne. Laura Burkhardt and Sebastian Schür do not grow their own grapes but rather purchase them, using them to first make wine and then Sekt through bottle fermentation. In France, the BurkhardtSchür Sekt house would be called a Négociant Manipulant (NM for short), which means that grapes are bought in. As Laura and Sebastian impressively prove, this does not have to be a disadvantage for the quality of the Sekt; on the contrary, it allowed the two winemakers to find growers who cultivate grapes according to their quality standards, planted on optimal soils for each respective grape variety. For example, the Pinot Meunier grapes grow on Muschelkalk in the Württemberg Taubertal, the Pinot Noir on Bunter Sandstein around Bürgstadt, and the Chardonnay in Kaiserstuhl on volcanic soils. This perfect selection contributes greatly to the complexity and harmony of BurkhardtSchür Sekts.
