Description
Decanter World Wine Awards 2022: "85% Pinot Blanc, 15% Pinot Gris. Herbaceous and lemony with plenty of fresh green apple notes and a rhubarb, citrus acidity."
Cave de Turckheim Crémant d’Alsace NV is a refined sparkling wine from Alsace, France, crafted using the traditional method from Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay grapes. This elegant wine boasts delicate aromas of green apple, white flowers, and brioche, with a crisp palate featuring citrus, pear, and a fine, persistent mousse.
"A slight note of green pear on this wine's nose morphs into riper yellow pear on the slender palate. Frothy bubbles burst with lively freshness and emphasize the slenderness of the palate. It's light, dry and refreshing." Anne Krebiehl MW, Wine Enthusiast.com
