Gustave Lorentz, Crémant d’Alsace AOC (Alsace, France) “Zero Dosage” 2021 ($24)

This vintage bubbly blends Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, clocking in at 12.5% alcohol with 6.6 grams of acidity and 1.52 grams of residual sugar. Aged 24 months before disgorgement, it gives off a refined floral aspect with some fascinating espresso-like notes delivered with finesse in the bubbles. The finish is not steely, as some non-dosage wines can be.
