20-Buck Bottle: Zesty sparkling wine for everyday
Stock up on this wine for Fourth of July, graduations, and to celebrate life
Domaine Vincent Stoeffler Cremant, Alsace, France
Available at: Foxcroft Wine Co., all locations
Price: $19.99
On the nose: Mineral, peach, a light hint of yeast
On the palate: Dry apple, white pepper, beautiful gold color, persistent bubbles
On the plate: Pair with salmon, turkey breast, cabbage casserole, buttered noodles
Our take: This is a good all-around sparkling wine that will be a crowd pleaser.
Fun fact: The grape blend is pinot blanc, chardonnay, and riesling. Alsace is in eastern France near the Swiss border, but has a temperate growing season as the grapes are planted in a bowl between two mountain ranges. The mountains protect the fruit from severe temperature swings. This non-vintage Cremant is made in the traditionnelle method and is cave-aged for 18 months before release.
