Jean Luc Mader, Cremant d'Alsace
Bright, fruity and deliciously crisp with a creamy mousse, this is a citrus and apple flavored wine. It has a bone-dry character with a mineral and lemon zest texture. It’s ready to drink. Powerful aroma with mussel shells, toasted sourdough bread, walnuts and various citrus tones. Broad, mouth filling flavor, fine mousse, lovely acidity and barely perceptible sweetness in the long, savory finish. The quality is created by storage up to three years on lees after the secondary fermentation.
