NV Crémant d'Alsace

Heimberger Brut Rosé

NV Cave de Hoen Heimberger Brut Rosé, AC Crémant d'Alsace

This was great. So great that I finished the whole damn bottle myself, without offering anyone a glass, without remembering to shoot a half-full photo. I love sparkling wine. I'm old world, all the way around - I drink bubbles all the time, anytime. Who needs an occasion to hear that pop? This one was special - a pink sparkling wine, made from 100% pinot noir. Very rare, very rare, and I wasn't in the mood to share.

Great earthinesss, rusticity, all mushroomy pinot noir-ness. Wonderful, but does thin out in the mouth a bit. I finished the bottle, so it mustn't have been alright, no?
