Slightly better than the Gilbert Jacquesson. Less sweet but still a bit too much for me. This has better depth, character, much more chalk, volcanics.
Strawberries, creamed cherries, some blackberries, baguette crust, good presence of chalkiness, saline, sea fossils, pink & red roses, good acidity, nice balance in the finish.
@K&L Rosé tasting in advance of V-day

This is the “Aspasie” a Brouillet rose 12.5% abv - this maybe one of the darkest rose I’ve had little over the top for me stylistically (wish it was less sweet - still in the Brut range )

Thanks for cheering us up with the excellent Putanesca Matt! This champion of a rose had Maraschino cherry flavor ins spades- perfect for tomatoes and tuna! Refreshing acid made this a small bottle- gone in a flash!

Coral pink color with plentiful tiny bubbles and a fine bead with almond, cherry, candied strawberry, and hints of anise and dried rose aromas. On the palate, it approaches full-bodied, and is elegant, and energetic with cherry, strawberry, and hints of mandarin orange, and cranberry flavors. Lingering mineral accented flavors. Blend of 50% Pinot Noir, and 50% Pinot Meunier made from estate grown fruit in Brouillet. Color from 15% an old vine vinified Meunier. 12.5% Outstanding QPR at $35, especially for a Champagne that has been aged 5 years!

Not a fair comparison, but less exciting than their Carte Blanche. Nice mousse and acidity but a touch sappy and confected on the finish. Better than I'm making it sound, though.

The only rose that I know of that is half macerated and also adjusted with red wine. This is half Pinot Noir and half Meunier from the Ariston estate in Brouillet- one of my all time favorites!!!! On deck for today's Valentines Rose Champagne tasting at K&L.
