Barmes-Buecher, Brut Nature Cremant d’Alsace 2019

94 points James Suckling
What a striking and enticingly floral nose this Cremant has! Then comes the super-silky palate that you fall into, as you would into a velvet sofa. The really long, creamy yet precise finish is the last element of this deliciously innovative style. A cuvee of pinot gris, auxerrois and chardonnay, disgorged on September 27 after about 2.5 years maturating in the bottle.

Vinous Reverie Notes
Winemaker Notes
This Crémant sparkling wine comes from the clay-limestone hillsides of Wettolsheim and the sandy loamy plains of Turckheim and Colmar. The Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Auxerrois and Chardonnay grape varieties are brought to life by their different terroirs bringing finesse and character to this Crémant. Domaine Barmes-Buecher Cremant d’Alsace Brut Nature is not dosed with added sugar in order to retain its natural identity and purity, and allow you to enjoy honest and authentic expression of this natural wine. This elegant sparkler is intensely aromatic, bursting with mineral laced fruit. Just perfect for any occasion.
Food pairing: hams, turkey, chicken, pork or seafood all work wonderfully with this very versatile wine.
