"Tart red currant, rhubarb and strawberry come together in a very refreshing, rounded and appetizing fashion. The frothy, foaming mousse is exuberant and highlights these strawberry shortcake flavors brilliantly, while a totally dry palate makes sure that this stays classy. This is very satisfying, fun and fruit-driven, with a serious core and a bright, lemony finish."-WS

"A dazzling pink wine, the Lucien Albrecht Cremant d'Alsace Brut Ros offers bright red fruits, a nice tangy, and life on the palate. The wine's brightness makes it a beautiful choice with a plate of raw salmon sashimi. (Tasted: October 25, 2017, San Francisco, CA

"The flavors display nice strawberry and wild cherry fruit, with a touch of richness on the mid palate. It is balanced with dry, crisp acidity and complimented with a creamy texture and long finish. Blend: 100 Pinot Noir"-Winemaker Notes
"Lucien Albrecht (pronounced Lu-Shen All-Bresht) is one of the most distinguished producers of white wines in Alsace, founded in 1698 when Balthazar Albrecht settled in Orschwihr, a small village flanked by rolling hills and ideally situated for grape-growing. Today the winery is known worldwide for the finesse, unique aromatic structure and freshness of its still and sparkling wines. All Lucien Albrecht wines are produced with fruit sourced exclusively from estate vineyards, including the Grand Cru Pfingstberg and Grand Cru Spiegel. A leader in the production of acclaimed Brut and Ros Crmants, the winery was instrumental in securing AOC Crmant dAlsace designation in 1976. The winemaking team, led by Jrme Keller, embraces a philosophy of respect for the environment with minimal interference from the vineyards to the glass. In 2012 Lucien Albrecht received Frances Agri Confiance sustainability certification."-Winery Notes

Elegant bottle and fine cremant
Summer Favorite
"This wine is perfect for those summer days when red is too heavy, but white not appealing. It's non-vintage but every year has been consistently good. I buy it by the case."
Excellent
"You'll enjoy this. A good value. The color is wonderfully celebratory."
Lovely French Bubbly
"Mike at Empire Wines recommended me this bottle after we discussed my fondness for the Mumms Napa Brut Prestige, and the Gloria Ferrer.I had never had a Rose Brut before, and so was uncertain as to how I might like it.To be blunt, it knocked me right over with it's sophisticated fruit flavors, and a finish that was long and lovely. I would buy this bottle again in a heartbeat.A festive wine that can be heartily consumed all through dinner. You can't go wrong with this, and your guests will wonder how you knew."

EMPIRE STAFF REVIEW
The Perfect Pool Side Sipper!
"The soft bite of the bubbles opens the palate to a well balanced yet ever present acidity followed by a red fruit attack predominantly featuring strawberry and ripe watermelon. This bottle just begs to be paired with fresh fruit salad and a loved one. One of the better bubbly's under $20; rose or otherwise."
