That this
winery began in 1698 telegraphs that they probably know what they’re doing by
this time. And here’s why… Coming from the Alsace region in France Lucien
Albrecht ‘s Brut Rose’ is made of 100% Pinot Noir, free run juice, so they say.
This Crémant is a light and delicate sparkler with minimal
carbonation and a slight sweetness (as a side note, Crémant is a
sparkling wine not made in the Champagne region, therefore it cannot be called
Champagne, even though it’s made the same way. Rules are rules!). This bottle
offers notes of pomegranate, currant, mild strawberry, red delicious apple,
wild cherry and black cherry. This avoids many of the common yeasty and baked
bread notes that some people find uninteresting in the world of sparkling
wines, therefore there is no bitterness or tightness but a soft enjoyable fruit
at a reasonable price.
