The holidays put us in the mood for something delicious, vibrant, and festive. Something bubbly. Tonight, to match the mood, we’re popping this gorgeous pale pink-salmon Crémant d’Alsace produced by Domaine Camille Braun.

It is a rosé from Alsace made with 100% Pinot Noir, the only permitted black grape variety in this region. It comes from organic and biodynamic vineyards in and around the Village of Orschwihr.

Domaine Camille Braun is a family-run operation with roots dating back to the 1500s. Today Christophe and Chantal – a husband and wife team – are carrying forward the family legacy by making expressive wines from the beautiful terroir of Alsace.

This wine offers bright notes of raspberry, cranberry, red apple, lemon curd, dried pink rose, toasted almond, brioche, and wet stones with fine-beaded, persistent bubbles.

Cheers to delicious wines for the holidays! — a year ago

Sweet cherry fruit. Cherry licorice. Silky. Delicious. A bit manufactured. But good — 2 years ago

Intense Alsatian Pinot Noir, reminiscent of a great Burgundy, sourced from the Luft and Neuberg plots in the Bollenberg hill in Orschwihr. Red fruit, great structure, no rusticity. The 2015 is the last vintage they make. Starting in 2016, they made two single-vineyard wines from each of these 2 plots). — 3 years ago

Vino natural sorprendentemente fino y equilibrado con todas las caracteristicas del riesling. Afrutado y con un poco menos de acidez — 8 years ago

Omg. Oak, smokey, smooth, perfect. Just how I imagine Pinot Gris in Alsace. Seriously the best! — 9 years ago

Excellent Alsace Pinot Noir, reminiscent of a good Burgundy, sourced from a single plot in Orschwihr, near the Pfingstberg Grand Cru. Whole cluster fermentation. Aged in used oak barriques for one year and bottled unfiltered. Quite expressive nose. Red fruit, strawberry jam, gunpowder, some floral (violets) and oaky notes. Richer, more complex and more serious than their entry-level Les Jardins. — 3 years ago

Lovely. Botrytis honey mingling with Riesling diesel, fairly dry and quite snappy. Mineral. Broad feel. A present from the Napa Valley Wine Academy who visited during harvest and helped us press a tank. What a treat. Grateful. — 9 years ago
