Reviewed May 2019This Champagne rosé shows some good complexity on the nose with bread crust and brioche to match some dried cranberries and raspberries. Direct acidity frames the fine layering of bubbles.

Lifted reductive flintiness and whiff of smoulder on the nose. Heady notes of dried lemon peel on the palate with a freshness and phenolic edge, seems young but has complexity of cellaring. (Panel Tasting)

GW
This all estate-grown rose is composed of 50% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir that is vinified white and 15% Pinot Noir vinified as red wine or Coteaux Champenois rouge. I love the rose from the Aube department, and if you have been a fan of bottlings from Fleury, Fluteau and the like, you should definitely try this out. This balances wild Pinot Noir red fruit with dry precision and manages to have plenty of personality without losing easy-drinking charm.
Notes
This is distinctive for being the area’s only château-bottled estate Champagne. Sourced from 30 hectares of vines planted on steep slopes with Kimmeridgian limestone soil, this non-vintage Grand Réserve Brut Rosé is composed of 50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir, with 15% of red wine from the Champagne appellation. Dosage is at 10 g/L.
