title: Domaine Charles Frey 2013 Quintessence Extra Brut Sparkling (Crémant d'Alsace)
description: Ripe mirabelle fruit plays on the nose and leads onto a very rich, creamy but fresh palate. This is autolytic generosity set against bright lemony fruity freshness. The creamy mousse adds to the creaminess even more but also accentuates spiky lemon. The palate is bone dry but full of rich flavors. This is lovely now but will gain from bottle age. Drink 2017–2025.
