Wilfried Crochet is the winemaker who came home. His family ran a small domaine in Lorraine, making wine for the locals of Bulligny in the Cote de Toul. While Lorraine was once a productive winemaking region, its production dropped dramatically around 1914-1918, and afterwards, with Champagne rising to prominence and Alsace nearby, most local winemakers left to work more lucrative vineyards elsewhere. Wilfried was one of them, training in Bordeaux and working in the Rhone, Greece, Australia, and finally in Champagne, mastering the art of sparkling wine. In 2016, he returned home to Bulligny with a decade of experience and the belief that his family estate in Lorraine was capable of making sparkling wine on a par with Champagne, and doing so organically and naturally. After tasting this delicate, fresh, and creamy rose, we think he was right. Made from 95% Gamay vinified white, with just 5% Rose Pinot Noir to produce the delicate salmon pink color, the aromas are of fresh wild strawberries, gooseberries, apple blossoms, and lime zest. The palate is carried on microscopic Champagne quality bubbles for a delicately creamy texture defined by a star burst of strawberries, with limestone soil touches and a floral finish. Effusive, delicious, and surprisingly serious, this is a wine that will fit any occasion, but doesn’t necessarily need one to enjoy.
