From: Alsace, France
Blend: 60% Pinot Gris, 30% Auxerrois, 10% Riesling
Taste: Absolutely gorgeous! Combines body and a vertical freshness. A fine bouquet of pears, white flowers and toasted almonds. Tasty, saline with tension and a long finish on citrus flavors.
Pairing: Pairings with Cremant of this quality and drinkability range the spectrum of taste. We love pairing this with slightly salty fare: fried vegetables/tempura, dim sum, fried seafood, brie over baked garlic crostini- you get the idea. You could also pair along with tarts, quiche, puff-pastry treats, and even alongside sandwich/baguette lunch fare. For today, we’re sharing one of NYT Cooking’s favorite recipes for Exciting Noodle Kugel - Recipe from the Larchmont Temple, and adapted by Joan Nathan.
About. Domaine Dirler-Cadé is one of the finest domaines of Alsace with almost half of the vines in the Grand Crus as well as plots in five lieux-dites. Dirler-Cadé represented by Jean and Ludvine Cadé, the joining of two Alsace winegrowing families under one house. The vineyards are certified organic and biodynamic, and the wines are just as fitting in Michelin three-star restaurants as they are at natural wine fairs. The Rieslings, Sylvaners, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminers are all exceptional, but the domaine has also been celebrated for their Crémant d'Alsace Brut and Brut Rosé.
