Red Star Premier Classique (Montrachet)

Always dependable

Red Star Premier Classique (Montrachet)

I prefer the delicate aroma and taste of the Montrachet in comparison to the regular Premier Classique .Also,it works very well for the long cold ferment I use on my dry elderberry wine.

Sadly I can’t review them because I never actually got them 😕

I have had good luck with getting this yeast to start and completing the fermentation. I know the package calls out for rehydration, but I make sure my must is good with sugar levels, acid, nutrients and etc. I take the temp of the must as well and if it isn't between 70-75 degrees, I amend it until it is. If it's below that temp, I warm it. Above that temp, I cool it. Simple. I pitch the yeast on top of the juice, avoiding a fruit bag as much as possible and usually within 12 hours I have a robust fermentation. I Usually do fruits of different types to make different wines and when in doubt I use this yeast. I use a bag to contain the fruit and after primary fermentation I'll mix up honey to make a mead and put the fruit bag into it for a week or so and it takes off strong, the best way I have found to get mead to robustly ferment. And I end up using only one packet of yeast that way. My tasters tell me it's the best mead they have drank. Use good hygiene to make your wine and a good product like this and you'll be enjoying an glass before you know it, now get going, times a wasting that would be better used on your wine.

Always works, never gets stuck

Fast delivery

we will be ordering more when we need it.

Appears to have worked well, still in secondary.

Only one I use

Always great service from your store. Thanks

Works real good and I plan to continue using it. Thanks for an outstanding product.

It is a great yeast for doing fruit wines.

that was good and how to make my wine at my home. I like it

Have used this for years to make eldeberry wine. Works well. These days I turn it into vinegar.

I purchased this yeast for making my own hard cider. Very reliable and my cider is brewing away.

Great wine yeast for the price. I have been using it for about 10 years and have never had a problem. I will use it for all types of wine.

In the past, I've used bread yeast to make my wine. Although I was able to get fermentation and produce wine that was drinkable it left a lot to be desired. Since using the Red Star Montrachet Wine Yeast, the fermentation seems to be stronger and the finished product clears quicker. Also, the finished product tastes better.
I would recommend this product!

I've used montrachet yeast to make rhubarb wine. I crashed fermentation a bit early to maintain some sweetness. It's wonderful! I used the recipe from EC Kraus. Definitely recommend!

I use this for making apfelwine, and it always comes out perfect. Dry and crisp like it should be, plus for such short money, its a no brainer!

We used this yeast with a concord grape wine and an apple wine. Both have turned out pretty good, a bit too dry for my significant other though. I enjoy them both. Active yeast started to bubble in the starter within a couple of hours, I am happy with this product.

I've had good luck with this yeast when making berry wines. I get full attenuation and the wine is good. It may smell a little while fermenting, but the final wine has no hint of off flavors. _x000D_

Worked to make Edwort's Apfelwein. Super easy and tasty. Chugged right along and made a clear wine.

I've been using Montrachet in my blueberry wine and performs well. The next batch ill be using cote de blanc to try new yeasts and experiment a bit. All and all for under a dollar a pack its an outstanding yeast.

I use this yeast for fruit wines. I've made Raspberry and Blackberry wines that were pretty good. If it gets stuck I add in some energizer and that seems to help

Started out with two 1-gallong batches of wine. One Strawberry and one Blackberry. We cracked open bottles each last weekend (started in November). They were a big hit. I used the Montrachet yeast in both. I prefer the Blackberry and am getting ready to make a larger batch using this yeast. Worked quite well.

I used this as a last attempt to get a Pinto Noir kit to ferment. I had pitched EC-1118 twice to no avail. Made a starter with this adding a bit of must every 30 minutes and added to the bucket. Less than 24 hours later was chugging along. Gravity down to 1.050 in about 3 days. Was a lifesaver for me.

I have finished a batch of Blackberry wine that is fabulous - this yeast worked really well for the fruit wine.

Great yeast. Used it for apfelwein and it fermented great. The lock was full of bubbles within the first few hours. Good product and very good price.

This is the one that I think makes some of the best wine to date. I have used others and a friend of mine gave me a pack of this to try and made the wine so much better. New Favorite. :-)

This is a great yeast for fermenting wines! I use this strain in particular for making Apfelwein. It works great with the apple flavor. It has a nice dry and crisp taste to it. I've never had an issue with it, and will continue to use it!

I have used this yeast for my blackberry and muscadine wines. The blackberry did great, I had no problems, great flavor, high alcohol. The muscadine, however, did not finish fermenting and a lot of sugar was left in it. I also noticed a rotten egg smell on the muscadines that I do not recall having on the blackberry.
