Crémant d’Alsace Brut NV
Background
AOC Crémant d’Alsace is the jewel in the crown of the sparkling wines produced in Alsace, with Family Charles Sparr being the pioneers of Alsace Crémant Sparkling in 1976. Fresh and elegant, Crémant d’Alsace is developed by secondary fermentation, and predominately made from Pinot Blanc, but also from Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Riesling or Chardonnay. These varietals are in general picked at the very beginning of the harvest, an auspicious moment when the grapes offer the best balance and harmony for vinification.

Tasting Notes
Medium bodied. Full acidity. Moderatly fruity. Reminiscence of minerals, herb, tart citrus fruits. Rich with an intense concentration and focus. Good lift on the finish.
