Cave de Ribeauville Cremant d’Alsace Brut Rose is an excellent explanation of why Alsace bubbles are one of our go-to sparkling wine regions.
Alsace, located in North-Eastern France on the border with Germany, has a long-standing reputation for its outstanding Cremants of great value.
Cave de Ribeauville Cremant d’Alsace Brut Rose
The Cave de Ribeauvillé Brut Rosé is made from 100% Pinot Noir sourced from an estate that includes 8 Grands Crus and other select vineyards.
Alsace winemakers follow the same traditional winemaking process of Champagne and often use the same grape varietals, as this Cremant demonstrates.
In the Glass
Cave de Ribeauville Cremant d’Alsace Brut Rose shows off the bright salmon pink color and tiny bubbles in the glass.
Ribeauville Cremant impressed us with its consistent fruit-forward character. The red apple, sweet pear, and even peachy aromas followed by crisp red apple, lemon candy, and Asian pear on the palate.
Thousands of tiny effervescent bubbles explode in your mouth, creating a tender, creamy sensation followed by balanced acidity.
Finish
Cave de Ribeauville Brut Rose may not have Champagne wording on the label. Still, it can spar with it any day of the week. Although it will lose on one count – price.
You can have these delicious bubbles for under $20. Beat that, Champagne!
