What reviewers say
“Vid avkrokandet verkade denna först lite platt. Men när den väl öppnade sig. Oj! En hint av smörpopcon i en kinolobby, uppenbarade sig i glaset. En fin gyllelysfärg tillsammans med en len smak. Den kan man kosa sig för både lukt och smak.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

From Crémant d'Alsace in France, Fernand Engel Crémant d'Alsace Chardonnay Brut is a sparkling wine.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 362 other sparkling wines from France, not against the corpus as a whole. 1,224 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 1,251 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.

Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 1,224.
