If you like lighter, fresher-style champagnes, then you should enjoy this Alsace Crémant a lot. I like the delicate apple, pear and berry notes, as much as the elegant, medium body and the long, clean finish that pulls you back to the glass for more. A blend of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot blanc. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

The Jean-Baptist Adam Les Natures Crémant d'Alsace shows that this important area for French sparkling wines fares well in the ultra-competitive arena of world class bubbles. The wine is at once on point—showing fresh apple, peach, and mineral—as well as offering complex nuances of savory herbs and a pleasing earthiness. The flavors suggest a pairing with rabbit terrine.

The Adam estate is located in the heart of Alsace in the village of Ammerschwihr, which enjoys an exceptional microclimate of sunny, warm and dry days that guarantee ideal conditions for growing grapes. The region also receives the least amount of yearly rainfall, only about 500 mm per year. This ensures gradual ripening of the grapes and extremely aromatic wines. The wines of Adam come from slopes with optimum exposure to sunlight. The vineyards are a mosaic of terroir and minerals consisting of gneiss, granite, shale and sandstone.
