Crémant d'Alsace
Crémant d'Alsace is a sparkling wine produced in the Alsace region of northeastern France. Made primarily from traditional grape varieties like Pinot Blanc, Riesling, and Chardonnay, it undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, which creates its characteristic bubbles. This method is similar to that used for Champagne, but Crémant d'Alsace has its own unique flavor profile influenced by the local terroir.
The wine is known for its crisp acidity and fruity notes, often featuring flavors of green apple, pear, and citrus. It is typically enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile choice for many occasions.
