Sparkling Rosés - the Pink Wine with Tiny Bubbles
Crémant d'Alsace Brut Lucien Albrecht is only produced from the cuvée ( first pressings from press). Characteristics of this sparkling wine begin with its attractive coral color, strawberries on the nose, very elegant, creamy and balanced mouth. 100% Pinot Noir. Perhaps the depth of this Rosé begins and ends with the origin of the grapes: the vineyards (on clay-chalky soil) are all in the Orschwihr commune, a large vine-growing area in Southern Alsace region of France which has an early micro climate. A summer sparkler that is extremely simple and extremly good for $14.99 a bottle.
Bouvet Cremant Rosé, Cuvee Prestige.
This is a brilliant sparkling rosé from France's Loire Valley made from Cabernet Franc grapes located in and around Saumur- dry, crisp with ripe, succulent red berry flavors and herbal nuances on the palate ending in a soft finish. Enjoy with hors d'oeuvres and first courses. This is extremely reasonable at about $12.99 a bottle.
Last but not least, WWOL encourages a purchase of this gem, Cremant De Bourgogne Rosé, Cuvee Prestige, Collin Bourisset. A crisp, elegant sparkler with a delicate pink hue. Bright raspberry and wild strawberry fruit, a creamy mousse and a long, well developed finish. A great beginning or ending to a summer picnic. The price point on this wine is approximatey $17.00 a bottle.
