Tasting notes
The Crémant d'Alsace Brut Cuvée Manekineko is a sparkling white wine from Alsace, France, crafted by Clément Krug. This winery, with a history dating back to the 17th century, began crafting their own cuvées in 2009. This particular wine is a beautifully balanced blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, capturing the unique climate of Alsace in every bottle.
In the 35th volume of the manga 'Drops of God', this wine is introduced during a critical showdown, where Ma Famille presents it as the first bottle. The characters are entranced by its poised elegance and harmonious balance, likening it to a dignified Siamese cat.
Pour it into a glass, and you'll see a light golden hue—like the eyes of a cat basking in the morning sun. The nose is greeted by the scent of freshly baked bread, with crisp green apple and citrus notes weaving through. On the palate, the bubbles are fine and creamy, offering a gentle attack with lively acidity that dances playfully. It's slender yet has a firm fruit presence.
The finish is somewhat long, with a sharp yet pleasant acidity lingering. The delicate layers of flavor create an elegant impression. For the best experience, serve it chilled in a simple wine glass to truly appreciate its charm.
