This Cremant d’Alsace is still very youthful, with effusive aromas of candied lemon, toasted baguette and fresh brioche. Crisp and focused with quite some depth packed into the sleek body. Racy acidity drives the very straight, lemony finish Properly dry, even if it doesn’t say Brut on the label. A cuvee of chardonnay and pinot blanc from the vineyards of Eguisheim. Drink now.

Gentle creaminess is all that can be discerned on this wine's shy nose. The palate offers stone, yeast, chalk and citrus bedded in an autolytic backdrop with a lovely texture. Smooth, creamy foam enhances flavors. This elegant wine has a dry finish. (AK)

Aged for 24 months on lees, the NV Brut Crémant d'Alsace Charles Baur Emotion is a blend of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Blanc. All the grapes are from the clay, limestone and sandstone soils of Eguisheim. A touch of smoke on the nose suggests the slightest reduction. The palate comes in with fine foam and vivid freshness, bedded on a subtle yeastiness that is reminiscent of freshly baked baguette. The flavors are lemony, the body is slender, but comes with elegance and finesse and a really yeasty finish with a salty tang. Dosage was 6g/L. (Dry)(AK)

Zesty & bright with excellent richness and subtle hints of minerals and petrol notes. Expansive on the palate this is the ideal sparkler to start off your Thanksgiving fun with family and friends.

Delicious Cremant with serious depth and broad texture. It has touch of brioche and slight toast note with rich citrus and bright mineral strike. I love its freshness and supple finish. Fantastic value!

A very nice light and bright nose of fresh pear, nectarine, lemon and lightly toasted bread. Dry on the palate with small (and creamy) bubbles, lemon/lime fruit and vanilla cream. It's even Vegan!
