"Color: bright; Nose: fragrant; Aromas: floral, tree fruit; Acidity: supple; Body: light-bodied; Overall: elegant; Light, delicate, but has enough complexity to satisfy. Creamy mouth feel that is very appealing, making this an excellent choice for occasions without food."

"Color: bright; Aromas: floral; Sweetness: dry; Finish: medium; Loved it. Brut Champagne drinkers will enjoy the dryness but the bubbles are finer and we find it lighter on the palate"

Winemaker's notes
|
|
"Lucien Albrecht, Jean's father, pioneered Crémant production in 1971 and helped gain an Appellation Contrôlêe for the wine and for Alsace. The wines vinified by the classic Champagne Method from 100% free run juice, are the best sparkling wines in France outside of Champagne itself. Recently Maison Lucien Albrecht was awarded four gold medals at a comprehensive National I.N.A.O. tasting of all sparkling wines in France, giving the firm more gold medals than any other Crémant producer in France.
This Blanc de Blancs is made from 100% Pinot Blanc. The Blanc de Blancs is distinguished by a fine and elegant bead, a beautiful straw color; a light, delicate palate. It is delicious at any time of the day and with many foods. --

"Albrecht obviously has a skill in sparkling wines, because this, like its partner rose, is skillfully made, full of fruit and richness..."
