Trudon "Rosephile" Brut Rosé Champagne

This is delicious! It's always an adventure to see how talented and experienced winemakers craft 100% Pinot Meunier champagnes. Once hidden in the fine print, Meunier recent ascent as a single variety sparkler has transformed the champagne aisle almost as much as climate change. If you read our emails, you know Jérôme Trudon spent twelve years making champagne at a little Champagne house called Louis Roederer and his "Rosephile" Brut Rose is a testament to his advanced skills. Where to start? This is one of those wines that has strong seductive aromatics that match what you get on the palate - an explosion of ripe red fruit, mouthwatering acidity, and brioche. I can't recall a rose champagne that has as much red fruit character. Great for summer!

The Trudon "Rosephile" Brut Rose is 100% Meunier and a perfect example of the quality that the oft-overlooked grape can achieve. Softly textured yet snappy due to undergoing only 30% malo, the wine is loaded with raspberry, redcurrant, and crushed rosepetal aromatics. Ripe strawberry and cherry flavors burst on the palate while an undertone of red flowers and crushed rocks carry the soft, juicy finish. This is absolutely delicious Brut Rose.
