Celebrate the Holidays with Crémant d'Alsace: A Festive Sparkler

The holiday season is often filled with stress and elaborate dinner preparations, but this year, it’s time to shift gears. Instead of the usual formalities and nerves tied to hosting, consider embracing a more relaxed atmosphere with a sparkling companion—Crémant d'Alsace. This delightful sparkling wine from France promises to add elegance and cheer to any gathering without the fuss.

Crafted through the same rigorous methods as Champagne, Crémant d'Alsace showcases not only exceptional quality but also presents a captivating array of styles, including Brut, Extra Brut, and Rosé. The wine is produced from classic French grapes such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, alongside the region's distinctive varieties like Riesling and Pinot Blanc. This blend culminates in a bubbly delight that pairs beautifully with both simple snacks and elaborate meals.

Monica Townsend, Head Sommelier at Brass, emphasizes, "Crémant d'Alsace offers vibrant fruitiness and lively bubbles. It’s a refreshing alternative to Champagne, maintaining that celebratory spirit." She enjoys serving it alongside snacks such as potato chips, soft cheeses like Fromage d'Affinois, or savory tarts adorned with fresh herbs. The freshness and zest of Crémant d'Alsace elevate even the laid-back dishes into something remarkable.
