Jim Bandy recommends this wine.
There is more to sparkling wine than Champagne (gasp!). And this lovely Crémant from Alsace is one you absolutely must try. But be careful! Fresh red berries balanced with a nice level of acidity and creamy mousse easily blur the lines between your first glass and an empty bottle. I enjoyed this on its own, with grilled tuna, and with a mixed cheese platter.
Gentle red-berry notes and fresh citrus appear tentatively on the nose of this wine. The palate is lively, with vivid foam that ends a little creaminess to the slender body. The finish is dry, refreshing and rings with a slight creaminess. It's restrained and easy, but elegant.
