Crémant d’Alsace Brut Rosé – Non-Vintage – 90 points – winereviewonline.com
90 points
“Crémant d’Alsace Rosé must be made entirely from Pinot Noir, which helps explains why they, as a category, are very good. That Pierre Sparr, a top Alsace producer, made this one explains why it’s easy to recommend. Crémant (literally meaning, ‘creamy’), from Alsace or elsewhere, has about two-thirds the fizz as Champagne, which means they have a rounder texture. Sparr combined that texture with the power imparted by Pinot Noir and gives us a seductive salmon-colored bubbly with enough finesse to enjoy by itself, but sufficient power to hold up to meaty fish, such as salmon.”
