Nicolas Maillart Grand Cru Brut Rosé Champagne

Bouzy is the Queen region for Pinot Noir in Champagne, and as such, Nicolas Maillart has made a Rosé from there that exudes queen-like power. On the lower end of still red wine blended into the vin clair, don't let the pale pink color fool you, she's structured and (enjoyably) edgy. The clean fresh strawberries on the nose are matched by a phenolic palate that makes this a universally great wine. It can be enjoyed alone or with food - surprise your friends (or yourself) by pairing this with a pork dish.
