$\"\"$ <\/a>I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a fan of Pierre Frick’s wines<\/a>. I am sure the wines are good (in fact, positive they are good), and that they are made with quality, organically grown grapes, but they just don’t speak to me. \u00a0In fact, I have an issue with the wines of Alsace in general. Is it their flowery style I don’t like or their super-fruity expressions, some with residual sugar, that I find hard to gulp? \u00a0I have not tasted all the wines of Frick, have you seen how many different bottles of wine he produces<\/a>?!<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>Anyway, on to this wine. A Cr\u00e9mant which is\u00a0supposed\u00a0to be one of the favorite of Frick’s wines according to many reliable sources – so I was looking forward to tasting it. \u00a0Made in the traditional Champenois method, then disgorged and dosed (upwards of Champagne Brut levels – I can only assume based on my tasting), this\u00a0reasonably\u00a0priced sparkler (about 55 Polish Zloty) is perhaps the most interesting sparkling wine available in Poland today. \u00a0 That’s about all I can tell you about the wine because trying to find out any of the other details about it didn’t prove easy. i am not even 100% sure about the grape! \u00a0Pinot Auxerrois, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, or a combination of the three? One reliable source was confident that it was 100% Pinot Blanc. Ok, I’ll believe that.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>Date Tasted: \u00a0November 18th, 22:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nose<\/strong>: Quince apple jam,\u00a0semi-dried (not oxidized) yellow apples, persimmons, carrots (spiced, as in carrot cake), \u00a0and other sweet notes like melon, kiwi. Exotic but not tropical. Very complex indeed, very. I could have spent the whole night just smelling the wine, but I got thirsty \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Palate<\/strong>: Very fruity with some residual sugar, not sure how much, but enough to give this wine a semi-sweet edge. \u00a0Pecan pie (caramelized pecan’s for those who have not tasted the pie version). Great acid with a super long and complex finish. Would be great with not too sweet dessert cakes and some semi mature cheeses.<\/p>\n

A very complex wine that has a lot going on and so many aromas and flavors. So much going on that some might even say the wine was unfocused. I would say, rather, that the wine was entertaining and kept me coming back to the glass to see what i would find next. \u00a0It would an interesting wine \u00a0to try again in 3-5 years. Or, the hell with it. Drink it now!<\/p>\n

Who knows, perhaps I am becoming a\u00a0believer….<\/p>\n
