Stunningly beautiful stuff. A clear light salmon in the glass with tiny, persistent bubbles. Wonderful effervescence and a creamy mousse. Wild strawberries explode on the nose upfront with darker cherries beneath. Plenty of yeast to compliment. There’s a minerality here that you just don’t find on most rosés of the same nature.
This is not a lightweight, inconsequential rosé at all. Mostly Pinot Meunier with a slight dash of Pinot Noir, this has weight and depth for ages. Disgorged on 3/19 with only 4 g/l dosage, it’s dry and extraordinarily fruity in the mouth. Round and impeccably structured with nice acidity.
On the palate there’s faint notes of smoke and then opens up in a wave of cream and cherries. Those strawberries attack again, supported by baked biscuits and a touch of cloves. Medium long finish with spice. This is my favorite of the year. It provided such a good time.
