EMILE BEYER CRÉMANT D'ALSACE BRUT ROSÉ NV, Elzas

Picked up a bottle for a quiet evening and was surprised by how elegant it is for the price—the bubbles are fine and persistent, with a lovely raspberry hue. It’s dry but has enough fruit to keep it interesting, perfect with a simple cheese plate.

The biodynamic farming really comes through in the glass—this rosé feels alive, with a clean, precise finish that’s perfect for a weekday treat. Bubbles are fine and persistent, and the color is a gorgeous pale salmon. I’ll be ordering another case before summer ends.

Picked up a bottle for a special dinner and the fine bubbles paired beautifully with the salmon. The strawberry notes are delicate, not overpowering, and the finish is clean and refreshing.
