Domaine Allimant-Laugner Brut Crémant d'Alsace

Description

Lovely and fresh notes of red apple are joined by a livelier tangier citrus note on the nose. The dry palate is very light, almost weightless and fizzes away with a very fine mousse. There is real depth of fruit and a knowingly light touch. It is lovely as an elegant apéritif but sophisticated enough to be served alongside food. The finish is tart, lasting and grown-up. Score - 91. (Anne Krebiehl, MW, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 1, 2017)

Tasting Notes

This is very flavourful, quite elegant cremant that captures complex aromas of hay, dried flowers, honey and some earthiness. It's mid-weight, fairly firm yet fleshy with very good length. Some lemony tartness and nuttiness on the finish. Good presence here. Tasted April 2014. Score - 89. (David Lawrason, winealign.com, April 2014)
