A sparkling non-alcoholic alternative designed for the aperitif, combining freshness, complexity, and structure.
Cuvée Geranium expresses the full signature of ALTER: a beverage crafted from the outset without alcohol, with true aromatic depth. At the heart of this creation, lemon geranium (Pelargonium crispum), with its lively and elegant accents, blends with fresh rosemary and the subtlety of French oak.
The botanicals are grown by the producer themselves and then distilled without alcohol to preserve the full richness of the primary and secondary aromas. These distillates are then blended with a fruity base of white stone fruits and grapes harvested before maturity, providing tension and structure.
Slightly sparkling, this cuvée offers a wine-like sensation, with beautiful complexity and a clean, refreshing finish.
Nose: An expressive and elegant nose, dominated by fresh aromatic herbs, lifted by warm spices. A subtle exotic touch of lychee adds roundness and a slightly floral dimension.
Palate: Lively and vibrant attack of very pure lemon geranium, gradually opening up to notes of white fruits. The whole is balanced by a delicate vegetal structure, where rosemary provides freshness and complexity.
Finish: Long, precise, and perfectly dry, marked by fine notes of toasted French oak. The elegant and well-integrated tannins provide structure to the tasting, leaving a clean and persistent sensation.
Food & drink pairings: Ideal as an aperitif, this cuvée is the perfect accompaniment to grilled vegetables, Mediterranean dishes, or refined plant-based cuisine. It also pairs very well with fish (raw or grilled), fresh cheeses, as well as dishes featuring aromatic herbs (rosemary, thyme, basil).
