From: Pfaffenheim, Alsace, France
Varietal: Pinot Blanc

Taste: This is lively and expressive, with aromas of crisp apple, baked pear, white flowers, honey, and a touch of brioche pastry from extended lees aging. The wine is bright and refreshing on the palate, with balanced acidity and a delicate mousse.



Pairing: Seafood and shellfish make excellent pairings, as the wine’s crisp acidity and minerality enhance the flavors of fresh oysters, shrimp cocktail, crab cakes, and scallops. Lightly grilled fish such as sole, trout, or cod with a lemon-butter sauce also complement the citrusy brightness of the Crémant. Poultry and light meats, including roast chicken, turkey, or duck with a honey glaze, balance the wine’s baked pear and floral notes, while herb-crusted pork tenderloin or prosciutto-wrapped melon bring out its fruity and toasty elements.
