People keep asking me what the name of my favorite bargain sparkling rose was. Well, this is it!This Crémant Rosé is a sparkling wine produced in Alsace by champenoise method, with the juice on the skins just long enough to give the wine a very light pink color, made with 100% Pinot Noir. Aged 11 months before release, it is meant to be consumed while fresh, young and vibrant. This dry but zesty wine will go with many foods but I love it as an aperitif, to be savored. Enjoy its fresh aromas of strawberries and wonderful minerality. This one is easy to drink with the light, creamy bubbles and a crisp, flowery tang.

Allimant Laugner was created in 1724 and now lies in the heart of Alsatian vineyards, in the extreme south of the Bas-Rhin department. The winery is between Strasbourg and Colmar, and just above the famous castle ” The Haut-Koenigsbourg “.
