This méthode traditionelle sparkling wine from Alsace lacks the toastiness we like to associate with champagne (at least, with the champagnes we like most), offering instead a generic citrus flavor--very close to lemon. Nevertheless, we deemed Sainte Odile Crémant D'Alsace "very nice" and would certainly recommend it to someone looking for an alternative to champagne. It went very well with our dinner: shrimp in coconut milk.Our UC Davis 20-Point System-inspired rating: 16.5/20.
Note: Margaret Anne's mom Alice liked this wine very much and wants it noted she though 16.5 was too low.
