Paired w remaining grilled oysters and BBQ pork ribs.
Pale, almost peach skin color. Subdued noae that is more tertiary than predominantly fruity, bracing.
On day 2, and warmer this showed much more complexity.

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.

Pleasant wine. Tiny bubbles with nice flavors. Crisp acidity with hints of red apple skin, green apple fruit and a touch of yeast.
