Charles Baur, Cremant d’Alsace Brut Rose, Alsace, France NV
{organic} 100% Pinot Noir
STRAWBERRY & WHITE CHERRY, MACAROON & RIVER STONE
Arnaud Baur’s affinity for bubbly is particularly inspiring, and this dashing rosé enthusiastically rivals its white counterparts in yeasty, Champagne-ish maturity while stepping somewhat sideways and finding a slightly fresher, more fruit-focused voice – chiseled, very dry, and with traces of toasty, biscuity richness that are captivatingly generous and distinctive. Pink Pinot Noir perfection!
Serving Suggestions: Choucroute au poisson (trout in heavy cream sauce w/ cumin, thyme leaves, & sauerkraut). Linguini w/ fried capers & puttanesca sauce. Gooey cow’s milk cheeses.
