Lucien Albrecht pioneered Crémant production in 1971 and helped gain an Appellation Contrôlêe for the wine and for Alsace. Pale lemon color, fine bubbles with a light creamy mousse and aromas of fresh stone fruit with biscuit scents. On the palate ripe apple, citrus and peachy flavors with nice mineral tones, dry with vivid acidity. Lingering finish with good balance ending with fruit, slight mineral and yeast tang. Excellent value as a Champagne alternative! Consistent quality.

A bit of green apple, vanilla, white flowers. Decent yeast and mild acidity. Pleasant.

Earthy, minerality, chalky. Fun French bubbles. Nice acid, would like more fruit to show through

Light aromas of pear with a touch of a sulfur note. I was thinking non-vinifera drinking blindly. Seems a little unremarkable with a short, simple finish.
