\"cremate\"<\/p>\n

I’m in Alsace, and last night I began with some cr\u00e9mant, Alsace’s traditional method sparkling wine, of which over 30 million bottles are produced annually. Here are a few that I tried.<\/p>\n

Dirler-Cad\u00e9 Brut Nature 2013 Alsace, France<\/strong>
\nLively and focused with nice bright citrus fruit and a hint of wax and lemon. Lovely fruity style. 89\/100<\/p>\n

Domaine Bores Blanc de Noirs Sec NV Alsace<\/strong>
\nThis is quite rich and a bit sweet with nice depth to the clean pear and citrus fruit. Works well in this sweeter style. 87\/100<\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ois Schmitt Blanc de Noirs NV Alsace<\/strong>
\nLively and bright with nice ripe apple with some cherry fruit. Has a lively, fruity personality with some savoury notes in the background. Really appealing. 90\/100<\/p>\n

Alfred Meyer Brut de Katz NV Alsace<\/strong>
\nThis is 100% Auxerrois. Lively and fresh with nice citrus fruit and a bit of pithiness. Dense and fresh with a hint of herbiness and even some cherry fruit. Stylish. 89\/100<\/p>\n

Schoenheitz Brut 2008 Alsace<\/strong>
\nZero dosage. Very fresh and tart with appealing lemony fruit. Lively and bright with lovely elegance and purity, and a lemony core. 91\/100<\/p>\n

Vincent Fleish Dame Nature Zero Dosage NV Alsace<\/strong>
\nComplex, rich and quite bold with nice lemony fruit. Spicy, ripe, appley and appealing with nice weight and richness. A really interesting wine. 90\/100<\/p>\n

Zeyssolft Brut NV Alsace<\/strong>
\nThis is majority Pinot Blanc. Fresh and linear with nice lemony fruit. Bright, focused, fruity and focused with some pithy notes. 88\/100<\/p>\n
