Cave de Turckheim, Crémant d’Alsace Brut

(2024) A Crémant made from Pinot Blanc (80%) and Pinot Gris (20%), with secondary fermentation in the bottle and the wines aged 18 months before being disgorged. The nose has a little layer of biscuit or vanilla, but then the luscious ripe pear and apple fruitiness takes centre stage. Pear on the palate too; like suoer ripe and juicy Conference pear, a seam of lemon acid adding cut, and a dry Brut finish that is stylish. A very nice Crémant at a very nice price, from the always reliable Turckheim cooperative. Watch the video for more information and food-matching ideas. On offer at £9.99 in March 2024.
