Strawberries and cream aroma. Little red fruit, little citrus. Dry, little Brett. Full.

Just stop and look at this thing. Look how gorgeous it is. It’s so pretty I almost don’t want to drink it. Almost. Beautiful effervescence and an instant burst of fresh fruit aromas. Strawberries and cream with raspberry jam. Lychee and dried herbs, mild spice and a fair bit of kumquat for good measure.
One of the Masters of Meunier and it shows. It always shows. Brilliant acidity though understated compared to his wines with lower dosages. 100% Pinot Meunier from Festigny and full of unique personality and character. 50/50 from the 2017 and 2018 vintages, this is youthful and fresh with lively minerality. Very lean and mean while still remaining generous.
On the palate, this distinguishes itself from other rosé bubbles. The antithesis of a lifeless, limp, and limpid wine. Thrilling in the mouth, the red fruits announce their presence. Red cherries and orange slices. A rumor of smoke and the whisper of tobacco. A long, magnanimous finish that truly leaves you wanting. I’ll drink another bottle just because.

Very pretty, but not as layered this time. Disgorged 13/07/21
