Tasting note |
A wine that sets the standard for others. A beautifully structured wine that is delightful on any occasion. A wonderful aperitif and equally suited to enjoy with fine dinning.
Appearance: a deep pink rosé champagne with a brilliant coppery, orange hue and teeming, tiny bubbles.
Nose: powerful with a strong hint of orange peel and blackberries and a smoky touch. Bold, full of character and warmth.
Palate: rather supple on the attack; full, fatty and generous; nicely structured by pleasant tannins. The effervescence melts nicely
into the wine creating a soft tender texture that nevertheless has underlying power. The finish has all the length and warmth one expects of a Grand Cru, plus a suggestion of minerality right at the end.
Service: Serve between 8 and 10°C (46-500 F) in a fairly large glass. Serve as an aperitif or to accompany a meal. |
