Cattin, Crémant d’Alsace AOC (Alsace, France) “Sauvage” Brut NV ($24)

This blend of 85% Pinot Blanc and 15% Chardonnay, with 6 grams of residual sugar and plenty of balancing acidity is brisk yet opulent. It is an excellent mid-priced bottle of Crémant, conveying fresh floral aromas with a creamy mid palate nicely framed by persistent flavors recalling tangy red apples and white orchard fruits.
