SKU #1125505 91 points Wine Spectator

 Licorice and smoke notes mix with hints of roast nut, wild strawberry and grilled plum in this toasty rosé, which is creamy, with bright acidity that keeps it well-focused throughout.  (12/ 2011)

 (45% pinot noir, 35% chardonnay and 20% pinot meunier; L1U2YA19): Light orange-pink. Lively red berry and orange zest aromas are complemented by musky rhubarb. Dry and taut on the palate, offering bitter cherry and redcurrant flavors and a touch of licorice. Finishes on a tangy note, with good cut and length.  (12/ 2012)

89 points Wine & Spirits

 Scents of violets and red apple skin perk up the freshness of this wine. It’s a touch candied in its fruit, while the lively minerality shows refinement.  (12/ 2012)

K&L Notes

This brassy pink Champagne is composed of 45% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier. The color comes from 7% red wine from old vines in the grand cru of Ay-one of the plots purchased from Krug in the 1980's. The Champagne has a very creamy nose and absolutely outstanding Ay black cherry fruit. This rose is one of the best we have in the blended style with both clean, abundant fruit and chalky drive. If you love rose, don't miss this one! -Gary Westby

To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Champagne

- The French region of Champagne (comprised of the towns of Rheims, Epernay, and Ay) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and winemaking traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range from the basic brut (often blends of several vintages), single vintage champagnes, and rose. View our bestselling Champagne.
