Lucien Albrecht
1698 Crémant d'Alsace Brut Chardonnay
Alsace, France
Lucien Albrecht pioneered Crémant production in 1971 and helped gain an Appellation Contrôlêe for the wine and for Alsace. Pale lemon color, fine bubbles with a light creamy mousse and aromas of fresh stone fruit with biscuit scents. On the palate ripe apple, citrus and peachy flavors with nice mineral tones, dry with vivid acidity. Lingering finish with good balance ending with fruit, slight mineral and yeast tang. Excellent value as a Champagne alternative! Tasting Sample.

Beautiful sparkling! Would easily mistake this for Champagne, great nose and good acidity. Loads of apple, lemon, and subtle brioche.

April 11, 2020, getting through the pandemic movie list. This is an amazing Cremant, fine bubbles, apples, citrus, very smooth, mellow with wispy finish. Love this.
