Brut Rosé Vintage is a blend originating from approximately twenty esteemed Grand and Premier Crus vineyards within the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs, prioritizing the use of the finest ‘Pinot Noir’ and ‘Chardonnay’ grapes.
This vintage rosé opens with an intense nose, reminiscent of a vibrant basket of red fruits, where raspberry, redcurrant, and blackcurrant aromas intertwine, enhanced by the exotic touch of mango and papaya. With aeration, elegant floral notes of rose and honeysuckle emerge, adding further complexity. The palate is mouth-filling yet refined, boasting sophistication and an impressive length. Despite the evident fruit ripeness, a terrific freshness and lively acidity underscore the wine's potential for a bright evolution.
This cuvée benefits from four years of lees ageing and has a dosage of 8 g/l.
Serve at 8-10 °C with fish such as grilled salmon or even sushi. It also marries perfectly with fruit tarts and other fruit desserts; try pairing with a forced rhubarb fool, the sharpness of the fruit complementing the elegant structure of the wine.
