Lucien Albrecht, Jean's father, pioneered Crémant production in 1971
and helped gain an Appellation Contrôlêe for the wine and for Alsace.
The wines vinified by the classic Champagne Method from 100% free run
juice, are the best sparkling wines in France outside of Champagne
itself. Recently Maison Lucien Albrecht was awarded four gold medals at
a comprehensive National I.N.A.O. tasting of all sparkling wines in
France, giving the firm more gold medals than any other Crémant
producer in France. |
