Crémant d’Alsace Brut NV, Joseph Cattin
($16.95)
Produced from Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris,
Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Chardonnay in the traditional method. Aged for at least 12 months on the
lees; no disgorgement date listed.
Lemon-green, with a fine, persistent bead.
A toasty nose indicative of having been aged on its lees, accompanied by
candied orange peel and lemon. The
mousse almost floats on the palate, with smooth, gentle bubbles that pleasantly
envelop the mouth.
Dry, with plentiful acidity.
Gulpable. A well-made
traditional method sparkler; a real winner at this price.
