Bestheim Crémant d'Alsace Brut Rosé

Tasting Notes from the Curator

The Bestheim Crémant d’Alsace Brut Rosé is a mélange of beauty and kaleidoscopic flavor. Its dialogue begins with fresh aromas of raspberry and strawberry, mingled with a zesty whisper of tangerine. The subtle scent of yeast offers depth, evoking the vineyard’s traditions. On the palate, the tapestry of red fruit plays with a confectionary sweetness, balanced by a flirtation of acidity. The wine’s texture is an ode to indulgence, with a smooth, velvety caress and a perlage that insists upon a persistent celebration. Its persistent finish leaves a lingering sonnet of taste long after the final sip.
