Aggressive carbonation. Nose of cut apple, soda, and mineral water, with a hint of jasmine. Palate shows lots of carbonation, with soft acidity and flavours of apple, soda water, yellow grapefruit, and a hint of sage.

From 75cl, perfect crown cork with thick natural cork layer at wine end. Excellent Alsace crémant with crisp green apple, fine pin-prickling bubbles and a very pleasant, not too dry version of the mongrel grapey-fruitiness I associate with this appellation (and which probably comes from blending in whatever juice is to hand, in this case Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, with a judicious dosage of instant sunshine). Good value at 13 EUR at cellar door.

Nice bubbly. Somewhat minerally - nice acidity. Mousse recedes quickly, fairly tiny bead. A bit austere on the nose but still pleasant. A little thin on the palate - crisp acidity that goes well with cheese an crackers.

Lemon, green apple, minerally, went well with a spicy chicken dish I prepared (garlic, ginger).
