Alexis Lichine Cremant de Bordeaux Brut Rose, Bordeaux, France NV

The Alexis Lichine Crémant de Bordeaux Brut Rosé is a sparkling stunner that brings Bordeaux’s finesse to the bubble game. This non-vintage beauty, crafted in the traditional method, dazzles with a soft pink hue and a stream of fine, playful bubbles. On the nose, it’s a burst of fresh red berries—raspberry and currant—mingled with a zesty citrus twist and a subtle brioche undertone that nods to its time on lees.

Sip it, and you’re hit with a crisp, lively palate: juicy fruit dances with a dry, chalky minerality, finishing clean and long with a whisper of lime. Sourced from the Entre-Deux-Mers region, this blend (likely Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for that rosé glow) is all about balance—elegant yet approachable. It’s your go-to for oysters, summer salads, or just popping open to toast the day. Pure Bordeaux sparkle with a rebel’s charm.
