Valentin Zusslin Crémant d'Alsace Brut Zéro Rosé

This is a rosé Crémant d'Alsace made entirely from Pinot Noir by Valentin Zusslin, a biodynamic family domaine in Orschwihr. The vines grow on the limestone slopes of the Bollenberg. The wine is made by the traditional method and spends 18 months on the lees. It is bottled with no dosage and no added sulphites, so it is a Brut Zéro. The colour has the salmon tint typical of Pinot Noir, with a fine mousse. Redcurrant, blackcurrant and raspberry lead on both nose and palate, with soft spice and hints of hazelnut or macaron. It is lively, dry and easy to drink, with a controlled aromatic finish. Serve it at 8 to 10°C.
