A.R. Lenoble is a very transparent producer and gives full information about the wine's makeup: 88% grand Cru Chardonnay from Chouilly with 12% still premier cru pinot noir from Bisseuil. Most of the wine is from 2011 with 15% reserve from 2010. The result is a finely honed wine with delicate aromas and deep flavors. There is a stunning elegance to this wine with a strong mineral component that is often overshadowed in more pinot-heavy rosés. This is a very particular wine, more for the connoisseur than the hedonist (not that one can't be both!). Excellent mousse, lovely pale salmon pink color, crisp acidity and a beautiful wine for food. It has great "nerve" and has great quality for the price.
