A charming blend of 60% Pinot Auxerrois, 20% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Blanc, and 5% Pinot Noir. The Meyer-Fonné Crémant d’Alsace Brut Extra sees only a minimal dosage and sports an autolytic nose of biscuit, apples and lilting white flowers. On the palate, a very fine, delicate mousse is bolstered by moderate acidity and subtle creaminess. Perhaps what I most like is the largely mineral foundation upon which this wine is built: it’s all chalk and sea salt, and there is even a touch of dried thyme and dried lemon zest. 11.0% ABV | Sample
