The Ruhlmann Cremant d'Alsace Brut appears a pale, clear yellow color in the glass with fine bubbles. The nose reveals fine, subtle aromas, blending with floral and fruity notes of white peaches and apricots. An elegant, long–lasting sparkle of very fine bubbles characterize this Crémant; a positive attack, developing in the mouth a roundness full of flavor; peach once more, with hints of hazelnut.

The Crémant Brut Ruhlmann is a refined aperitif and an ideal cocktail wine. Its discreetly fruity freshness will also highlight gastronomic encounters throughout a meal, from foie gras to seafood, from poultry to desserts.

These vines are planted in alluvial soils on a plain at the foot of the hills which allow water to percolate but still retain heat.

60% Pinot Blanc, 20% Auxerrois, 10% Pinot Gris, 10% Riesling

The traditional method which is the same as that of champagne makers; a long, steady process of fermentation to build effervescence, followed by aging on lees.

Aromas of petrol, dried apple and fresh chive balance a fresher apple-peel note. On the palate of this wine, bright Granny Smith notes are more prominent, along with suggestions of a deep honey-toffee flavor and more petrol that could come over time. A slightly savory note, like caramelized onions, rounds this wine out nicely. For the price, it could be fun to buy a second bottle of this and let it age. Editors' Choice -L.S.
