Lucien Albrecht Cremant Alsace Rose
Availability:2 In Stock
Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Auxerrois are some of the grape varieties used for our Crémant Brut, harvested by hand at the start of the grape harvest primarily in the municipality of Orschwihr, a large wine-growing community in southern Alsace.
Crémant d’Alsace Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée was created in 1976 to distinguish the wines obtained by the sparkling champagne method. The term "crémant" comes from Champagne where it was fallen in disuse. It was the recognition of the efforts made by several Alsatian winemakers, including the Maison Lucien Albrecht. With a beautiful brilliant golden color.

and retained an astonishing freshness despite the hot August days.
This Crémant presents a yellow pale disk with nice brilliance & fine
& delicate bubbles with a regular mousse persistence. The nose
reveals lots of floral & expressive aromas of fresh fruits (apple,
peaches & apricots). On the palate, it develops a fruity lively feel,
nice maturity & flavors of ripe fruit.
