Dopff & Irion Brut Rose Cremant d'Alsace
An Alsatian Brut Rosé made from 100% Pinot Noir bottle fermented in the traditional method, this has proven a sleeper among our top quality sparkling wines that are available for a song. All Dopff & Irion Crémants d'Alsace are kept brut by adding less than 15g/l of concentrated sugar to conserve the dry and elegant style of their Crémants. A blend of various years as done in Champagne for Non-Vintage offerings, this achieves a depth of character,and ensures an excellent, consistent quality. Crémant Brut Rosé makes refined aperitif or cocktail wine and is ideal for receptions. Its freshness and finesse makes it a wine to be drunk throughout a meal, even with dessert. Whether served frosty or up to 50°F is your choice as it has enough vinous complexity to express itself well either way with a bouquet is full of red berry fruit and a mouthful of lively, round and elegant mousse on the palate. It is a harmonious wine with pleasant, long-lasting flavors.

Food Pairings
