I’m in Alsace, and last night I began with some crémant, Alsace’s traditional method sparkling wine, of which over 30 million bottles are produced annually. Here are a few that I tried.
Dirler-Cadé Brut Nature 2013 Alsace, France
Lively and focused with nice bright citrus fruit and a hint of wax and lemon. Lovely fruity style. 89/100
Domaine Bores Blanc de Noirs Sec NV Alsace
This is quite rich and a bit sweet with nice depth to the clean pear and citrus fruit. Works well in this sweeter style. 87/100
François Schmitt Blanc de Noirs NV Alsace
Lively and bright with nice ripe apple with some cherry fruit. Has a lively, fruity personality with some savoury notes in the background. Really appealing. 90/100
Alfred Meyer Brut de Katz NV Alsace
This is 100% Auxerrois. Lively and fresh with nice citrus fruit and a bit of pithiness. Dense and fresh with a hint of heroines and even some cherry fruit. Stylish. 89/100
