Gustave Lorentz Crémant d´Alsace Brut Jeroboam

Wine Enthusiast

Coppery apple aromas lead into a creamy, tingly mousse. Granny Smith notes are complemented by anise, chervil and marjoram flavors for a sophisticated, herbaceous sip. The long finish is all tangy apple freshness. Pair this wine with roast chicken and let it help you out with the seasoning.

Tasting Panel Magazine

This wine features a pale yellow color and notes of red currant, raspberry, cranberry, and kirsch. On the palate green apple, gooseberry, and lemon zest cemplement the red fruit, along with a touch of herbaceousness and lively acidity. Hints of elderflower and flint meld with croissant on the finish.

Wine Review Online

Founded in 1836, Gustave Lorentz’s roots go back to the mid 17th century when the family was involved in barrel making and brokering wine. Today, they are recognized as one of Alsace’s top producers. Their Riesling from the Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim vineyard — they own a third of the vineyard — is always a sensational wine. They are also justifiably well-known for their late-harvest wines, which are always worth buying. Well, it turns out that Lorentz makes fine Crémant, as evidenced by this one and their Rosé. This one is a blend of about three-quarters Pinot Blanc, some Chardonnay and just a touch, 5 percent, of Riesling. It’s a blend that works, balancing good body and depth with a spice of acidity that keeps it fresh and lively. It has remarkable concentration in contrast to many Crémant that can come across and thin and acidic. It works well as a stand-alone aperitif, but has enough oomph to make it a fine choice with a meal, even spiced Asian fare.

Flaskehalsen

Superlækker alsidig Alsace-Cremant ... Gustave Lorentz i Alsace (er) en virkelig spændende producent, der sætter sit navn på denne fine Cremant, der er til at købe på de fleste boble-budgetter. De har en rigtig flot duft og en lang og dyb smag. Den er tør men stadig blød og derfor er det en flot allrounder, der prikker lidt til smagsløgene i alle dele af munden.

Mad og Monopolet

Crémant d´Alsace - Champagnes lidt mere prisvenlige fætter - men bestemt ikke én som skuffer. Duft af citrus, friske grønne æbler, hasselnødder og toast. I munden er den let cremet, livlig og med en fin syre og delikat frugtsødme. Godt glas til de lune dage på terrassen. 1 stk 159,95 / BEDSTE PRIS v/ 6 fl. 129,95

John On Wine

Rounded yellow-apple flavors are balanced by a fresh citrus edge on the palate. The finish offers a friendly, smooth and refreshing mouthfeel.

James Suckling

Sliced green apples, lemons, blanched almonds and pie crust on the nose. Crisp and bright with fine bubbles and a medium body. Nicely dry and biscuity.

Wine & Spirits Magazine

Supple and clean, this mineral-scented wine opens up to sweet pear and underripe apricot flavours. The crisp line of acidity makes it a mouthwatering match for littleneck clams.

Frisk … men venlig næse. Der er både Faxe Kondi, grønne æbler, briocheboller, lidt ristede hasselnødder og en cowboytoast, lidt fersken, melon, citroner … virker frisk og sprød i aromaerne. I munden er det også en frisk Crémant d’Alsace … masser af sure citroner og umodne grønne æbler, noget letbitter lemon, en klar stenet mineraliet … samtidig med en pæn dybde og en svag lille frugtsødme. 90 point. Forhandles af Supervin, hvor en flaske koster 159,95 kr., mens prisen er 129,95 kr. ved køb af 6 flasker.
