A WINE THAT SETS THE STANDARD FOR OTHERS. A BEAUTIFULLY STRUCTURED WINE THAT IS DELIGHTFUL ON ANY OCCASION. AWONDERFUL APERITIF AND EQUALLY SUITED TO ENJOY WITH FINE DINING.

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.
