Pierre Sparr Brut Reserve Cremant D'Alsace (France)

18 Jan 2015

(November 29, 2014) ... I, like many people, really dig sparkling wine, but unlike many, I drink it more often, and why not it pairs well with everything, is great for ANY occasion and there is so much inexpensive quality bubbles out there that there is absolutely no reason not to drink a bottle a month (at least).  One of those that I could easily recommend is a Pierre Spare Brut Reserve Cremant D'Alsace.  "Cremant" is just a fancy French term for sparkling wine (cause only Champagne can be called such, anywhere else in France it's cremant).  This one has those stunning aromas that lure one into a glass of fizz:  biscotti, almond, lemon, and bread crust; palate has a touch of sweetness, which fights it out with the acidity along with some lemon seed, fresh bread, and hints of creaminess and floral notes.  All in all this is quite simply put a very pretty bubbly and one worth both your time and your money ... If I were rating the wine it would be an easy 4-stars (out of five), taking value into account, I'd probably cough up a plus sign for good measure.
