Champagne, France
#AgedWineTuesday
Pretty color of light salmon.
Nose of strawberries, light raspberries, limes, green apples, light yeast, minerals and spices.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and small bubbles.
Dry on the palate with strawberries, tart cherries, lemons, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, spices, light earth, yeast, sea salt, light brioche and minerals.
This 17 year old Rosé Champagne is always delicious. Rich and plentiful. Nicely balanced and elegant.
Will continue to drink nicely in the next 7 years.
Easy drinking, complex and interesting. Crisp and refreshing.
Wine Spectator 97 points.
Needs 30 minutes of airtime to open up properly. Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.
A blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$450.

It has been awhile since I’ve had their Rosé and it is exceeding expectations.
Beautiful mousse, lively acidity but delicate. Lots of co2. Strawberries, white Rainer cherries, blood orange led citrus blend, raspberry hues, frothy whipped cream, some light caramel notes, really nice mid white spice-just right, volcanic minerals, sea spray, chalky powder with some small bits, brioche to baguette crust, red & pink roses, excellent acidity, very well balanced, perfect tone-tension, smartly polished elegant finish that lasts nearly two-minutes and lands on balanced fruit & spice.
It makes a push for 95 but not quite there. Plenty of life ahead. 15-20 years plus.
