The wine region of Crémant de Luxembourg
Only AOP outside France authorised to use the term "Cremant". Traditional method sparkling wines from the Luxembourg Moselle (min. 9 months on lees, 24 for vintage): fine and creamy bubbles based on Auxerrois and Pinot Blanc (citrus, white flowers, pear, apple, pineapple, almond). Crisp Chardonnay, vibrant Riesling, round Pinot Gris, airy Pinot Noir in complement (blancs de noirs, rosés).
The wine region of Moselle
France's most northerly AOC in Lorraine (2010), vineyards revived after phylloxera and the wars, clay-limestone and marly soils, harsh semi-continental climate. Auxerrois flagship native white (60% of whites): dry with green apple, citrus, white flowers and smoky mineral touch, tense thirst-quenching acidity. Full Pinot Gris, floral Müller-Thurgau and Gewürztraminer in whites. Fresh Pinot Noir rosés.
The word of the wine: Champagne rosé
Often obtained by adding red wines (from Champagne), it is even the only vineyard where this practice is allowed. Some producers prefer the practice used in other regions, i.e. a short maceration to extract sufficient colouring matter. This results in winey rosés for meals. Elegant aperitif rosé is more often made from red wine coloured Chardonnay. Rosés can be vintage or non vintage.
