Hubert Meyer Cremant d'Alsace Rose Brut

Enjoy it now, or cellar for a couple of years. Serve chilled, no need to decant. While Hubert Meyer only became a winery in 1976, the Meyer family has a history of grape-growing that dates back 10 generations. Founder Hubert has passed the torch to his son Pierre, who uses his deep knowledge of the region to produce an incredible selection of wines, both sparkling and still. If one thing is evident in the Meyer family’s wines, it's that they know the terroir of Blienschwiller in Alsace better than anybody else. For their sparkling wines, Hubert Meyer winery uses Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir, a pair of cool climate varietals that thrive in the mountainous region of Alsace. This Rosé Cremant is crafted from 100% Pinot Noir, in the classic Champagne style. The wine spends 18 months ageing on grape sediment before being bottled, imparting a wonderfully round texture. This wine is an appealing bright pink, with a generous bouquet. You’ll discover scents of strawberry, rose petals, and plenty of mouth-watering sour fruits - green apple, lemon zest and red berries are all present. It’s pleasantly dry in the mouth, with flavours of red fleshy fruit, honey and citrus. There is also a delightful yeasty hint, which calls brioche and sourdough bread to mind. This is a perfect choice if you’re looking for a versatile and food-friendly wine. Try pairing it with ice cream, fruit tarts, or even fried chicken.
