This dry sparkling white made from a blend of Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Riesling, and Pinot Gris is brut in style. Resting on the lees, the wine gains richness and lovely texture. Aromas of white fruits, minerality, and a touch of brioche lend this crémant a great versatility at table. Pair with flammkueche.
