CAVE DE TURCKHEIM MAYERLING BRUT, CRÉMANT D’ALSACE NV

France - Alsace. Crémants have a more gentle fizz but, made in the same way as Champagne, are still a credible alternative. Cave de Turckheim age theirs on the lees for 12 months longer than is required so this blend of Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois has some creamy complexity in addition to the lovely baked apple flavours. Gently aromatic with fresh apple scented fruit, a fine mousse and soft, creamy texture from extended lees aging. Elegant and well-balanced finish with a calming zing of acidity to refresh and entice.
 
Serve chilled as an appetiser, with a sweet dessert or even after a meal for the perfect post dinner refresher.
