Cave de Ribeauvillé, Crémant d’Alsace AOC (Alsace, France) “Les Comtes” NV ($28)

When a cooperative can make a sparkler this much fun – sweet and rich, but also with vivacity – then it is a good sign for individual producers. It blends Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois, clocking in at 12% alcohol with 5.37 grams of acidity per liter, 8 grams of residual sugar, and two years or ageing in bottle before disgorgement.
