NV Lucien Albrecht Cremant d'Alsace Brut Rose

Salmon pink in color with a peachy yellow/orange quality. The nose opens with an amazing freshness - white stone, watermelon and strawberry; fragrant and fresh, a delicate candied note emerges late. Medium-fine bead. Medium/medium+ acidity, the palate is full with a 2% milk creaminess. Palate reflects nose - watermelon, honeydew melon, strawberry. Very pretty.

$22

A- : fresh, so well balanced, nice price point, even if a bit simple. Will buy again!

Paired with Cardamom and Black Pepper Potato Curry. This curry was especially delicious and fragrant, grinding the spices ourself really made the difference, and it went amazing with the bubbly.
