This tiny production rosé is produced with red wine from some of the oldest living Champagnes, Meunier that is over 100 years old. These were some of the first vines to be grafted after phylloxera, and make wine not only of spectacular complexity, but also of elegance. This Champagne was made with no dosage, but because of the ripeness of the 2009 vintage and the age of the vines, it comes out tasting like a dry brut, but without any austerity. In fact, this wine is surprisingly rich for having no sugar at all. The bead is perfect, with tiny streamers and a pearly texture. Don't miss it at this price- there is precious little to be had!
Notes
Alexandre Le Brun is a young winemaker from Monthelon in the Ardenne (Marne) region of Champagne. He is a ninth-generation winemaker. His family established themselves in Champagne in 1750, and their cellars were built in 1822. The delectable Dilection is based on the incredible 2009 vintage with 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier. Only French oak is used and the vineyard where the grapes are sourced was planted in 1902. It is rich, but classically dry with dark cherry and strawberry fruit on the finish, which lingers.
