“This shows notes of pink nectarines, cherry blossoms, dried citrus peel and subtle hints of pastry crust. Sleek and round-textured with fine bubbles and a chalky, mineral aftertaste. Pinot noir. Drink now.” 
Our Tasting Notes: 
This has become the de facto “house wine” of Bottle Barn over the past decade. Bone dry, refreshing minerality and delicate red fruits with a bit of weight and richness. Wonderfully versatile and crowd-pleasing aperitif or main course accompaniment.
Wine Advocate writes,
“Based on Pinot Noir the NV Crémant d’Alsace Rosé Brut has a very pale color with just a hint of rosé. Very delicate fruit aroma with hints of red berries and flowers on the very subtle, fresh and elegant nose lead to a full-flavored and quite expressive palate. The wine is quite powerful and fruit intense but in a discreet and elegant way. Firmly structured but provided with fine bubbles and an aromatic aftertaste there is really finesse in this very well-made and distinctive sparkling wine.”
