Crémant d'Alsace (sparkling wine made by the traditional method).
Defined in 1976, this represents 22% of total production.
At the end of the last century, several companies in Alsace, established both in the vineyard area and in the cities of Strasbourg and Mulhouse, produced sparkling wines using the Champagne method. This tradition, somewhat in decline during the first half of the 20th century, was maintained until AOC Crémant d'Alsace status was awared by the decree of 24th August 1976. This decree gives Alsace wine producers the new framework necessary for the production of quality sparkling wines, with requirements that are comparable to those imposed on Champagne producers themselves.
Today, over 500 producers belong to the Syndicat des Producteurs de Crémant d'Alsace (Crémant d'Alsace Producers' Union).
Crémant d'Alsace owes its elegance and originality to the unique character of the grape varieties of Alsace, allied to the natural advantages enjoyed by its vineyards : a dry and sunny climate, slopes that face the rising sun, and special geological characteristics.
Grapes for the production of Crémant d'Alsace are generally picked first, at the very start of the harvest, Read more »

Paul Zinck Cremant d'Alsace Brut
Snoothrank:
Yet another poor man's champagne that has good effervescence and a toasty vanilla-citrus nose. The carbon dioxide is a bit coarse on the palate, but there is good acidity with citric acid (lemon) predominating in a clean, friendly, eye-opening kind of way. Decent Alasatian bubbly - especially at the very cheap price I got it (and I am not tell... Read More

Lucien Albrecht Cremant d'Alsace "Blancs de Blanc" Ns
Snoothrank:
Fairly citrussy on the nose, with a blade of grass accenting the cool kiwi, apple and rhubarb fruit. A touch sweet up front, this feels pretty big in the mouth, with juicy apple and Asian pear fruits that show a light green, kiwi fruit edge on the back end. A bit short on the finish, this ends abruptly, leaving just a shadow of dried lemon. 83pts Read More
