## Overview

Red Star Premier Classique Wine Yeast is a premium active dry yeast designed for home winemakers seeking dry, full-bodied red and white wines. With a robust alcohol tolerance of 13% and an optimal fermentation temperature range of 59-86°F, it enhances wine color and flavor complexity while preserving tannins. Sold in a convenient 10-pack, it’s perfect for consistent, high-quality batches that rival professional vintages.

## Description

Premier Classique formerly Montrachet. A strong fermenter with good alcohol tolerance that is useful in producing dry, full bodied red and white wines. Will leave a wine with intense color and excellent flavor complexity while preserving tannin content. This yeast will produce hydrogen sulfide gas in the presence of excess sulfur compounds and therefore should not be used to ferment grapes that contain residual sulfur dust. Temperature range: 59-86 F. Alcohol Tolerance: 13%.

Review: So far, so good - Used these for blackberry wine. First ever attempt at wine. We had a bumper crop here in the Pacific NW, more than I could make into jam. Bought these and some gallon jugs, have nearly five gallons percolating away. First fermenting was vigorous and frothy in their steel pots, eventually settled down. Strained and put into glass jugs with an airlock and additional syrup and yeast nutrient and they blubbled happily away for well over a week. siphoned into new jug with more syrup and nutrient and they are still joyfully making micro-bubbles of CO2 and circulating a dark red juice. Never really thought of wine as "alive" but it most definitely is at this stage of production. Smells like wine, none turned to vinegar yet. Tastes like wine and has a bit of bite when sampled during siphoning. So far, so good.
Review: Better yeast to use when making wine. - I like how this yeast actually improved the flavor of my homemade wine. I would recommend it.
