Crémant d’Alsace Brut Léon Beyer

With everyone talking about Champagne and Prosecco, it can be easy to forget how many delicious alternative sparkling wines there are on the market. Personally, I would rather drink a good Crémant d’Alsace than many Champagnes or Prosecco. Most Crémant d’Alsace is consumed in France, and it is easy to see why. Léon Beyer is one of Alsace’s most renowned houses, and its Crémant is a delight. A bottle-fermented blend of Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois that is aged on its lees for two years, and has 6 grams per litre dosage. It exudes personality, with lovely cox apple fruit, citric notes and refreshing acidity. It’s beautifully balanced, delivering the depth of fruit and the attack of acidity you want in a sparkling wine. 12%, and superb value at £18.95.

Price: £18.95 a bottle
