This sparkling wine—one of the flagship Crémants d’Alsace—is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grown on terroirs favourable to the sole Alsatian red grape variety. With a beautiful brilliant pink colour, it exhibits a nose of predominantly red fruit aromas, has fine and light bubbles and a very pleasant roundness on the palate.
Lucien Albrecht, Jean's father, pioneered Crémant production in 1971 and helped gain an Appellation Contrôlêe for the wine and for Alsace. The wines vinified by the classic Champagne Method from 100% free run juice, are the best sparkling wines in France outside of Champagne itself. In 2004 Maison Lucien Albrecht was awarded four gold medals at a comprehensive National I.N.A.O. tasting of all sparkling wines in France, giving the firm more gold medals than any other Crémant producer in France.
Touches of lime and lemon zest entice on the shy but refreshing nose. The palate adds a mellow ripe-apple note, helped along by a creamy mousse. The long finish is poised and dry. Anne Krebiehl - Master of Wine. 11/1/2018
Focused and elegant, this bubbly offers tasty brioche and citrus flavors, all lively and lingering on the finish. Drink now.
