Arthur Metz 1904 Cremant D Alsace NV

Arthur Metz "1904" Cremant D Alsace Brut, Alsace, France, NV

Grapes: A blend of Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir & Chardonnay, manual harvest, traditional bottle fermented, aged sur lattes (horizontal stacking)

Producer Tasting Note:

Pale yellow colour, green reflections. Abundant foam with rapid and fine bubbles. An expressive nose with notes of white fruits such as pear and apple. Frank attack, beautiful liveliness that continues on to a very pleasant finish. The taste is reminiscent of those flavours and smells detected on the nose. An elegant wine. 1904 marks the year in which Maison Arthur Metz was created.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Exquisite lightness and weightless charm are the two obvious hallmarks of this wine. The merest touch of citrus appears on the nose. The palate has the same restraint and lemony fruit, pitched against a light froth of tiny bubbles. It's lithe and bright, with a dry, brisk finish."

91/100 points, WINE ENTHUSIAST

"Very attractive lemon pie and green apple notes and a sleek, racy profile. Enough creaminess from the lees contact to balance that."  JAMES SUCKLING

Food Match: Perfect as an aperitif or paired with local specialities including: Tarte Flambée (Flammekueche - Bacon & onion thin crust pizza), Choucroute Garnie (Sauerkraut with meats), Munster cheese, Pretzels, seafood and grilled fish, poultry and veal
