Boeckel 2019 Cremant d'Alsace Chardonnay Extra Brut
It has been a while since we imported their top sparkling wine, but there was no resisting the sheer class of this bottling, which starts with the finest imaginable mousse, continues with a classic toasty nose and ends with a palate that is taut, creamy and saline. Borne of 50 year-old vines densely planted, it needs no dosage.
