Lucien Albrecht Crémant D'Alsace Brut Rosé is12% abv. and is from Alsace, France on the German border. It is made out of 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Most people don't know it, but Alsace does grow a small amount of pinot noir grapes. The winery was established in 1425, although it is the current generation who has perfected their cremant (French non-champagne sparkling wine) methode champenoise.

This wine is a pale rose pink with a coppery tinge and a fine and plentiful cascade of tiny bubbles. The aroma is light with floral notes and a hint of fruit. This wine is crisp and elegant, dry, with touches of various fruit, especially cranberries and strawberries to it.

Lucien Albrecht Crémant D'Alsace Brut Rosé shows why rosé sparkling wines are becoming so popular the past few years. It's a great price for a lovely wine chock full of bubbles that can be drunk alone before or after dinner, as well as pairing well with any foods that would match a dry, light, white or rosé wine.
