Cremant is the secret alternative to Champagne, all the elegance of it's better known sibling, but without the price tag. This top quality example from Alsace is made following the same technique and using 100% Pinot Blanc grapes.
The wine is gently aromatic with fresh apple scented fruit, a fine mousse and soft, creamy texture from extended lees aging. The softer bubbles make all the difference and allow this fizz to be enjoyed as an appreitif of throughout a meal.
Elegant and well-balanced finish with a calming zing of acidity to refresh and entice.
I love this sparkling wine, its light and lovely.
Great stuff, don't ask me to type more characters.
