Deep burnt orange in color A nice head with small bubbles. The nose is tight initially but with air opens to show some orange peel. Also a bit fleshy. On the palate, there is some citrus. Tart oranges as well It opens and gain complexity with air. Worked great with appetizers.
Golden in color with a lot of very small bubbles, clear and bright. The nose is very nice with chalk, toast, and slight marzipan. Full bodied. Good balance. On the palate, this is crisp with a very, very slight sweetness to it. Chalk and slight dried citrus notes. Long finish. This has plenty of depth. Drinking well now, this should drink well for seven to ten more years. It is very food versatile and should go with just about any food. It went very well with a spicy vegetarian pizza.
This is made from 75% Le Mesnil Chardonnay blended with 25% Pinot Noir from Grand Cru vineyards in Ambonnay. 8 g/L dosage. Copper with slight pink notes in color, clear, bright and with a moderate amount of small bubbles. The nose is delicate but persistent with strawberries and slight cherries. Plenty of minerality. Medium bodied. On the palate, strawberries and black cherries with lots of minerality. Tart, especially on the finish. Very food friendly, this would work well with fried chicken or popcorn, too. Drink within five years of purchase.
Tasted from Magnum. Great showing. In the world of semi-affordable Champagne, this is one of the top Rose's. Ruby/copper in color, clear and bright. A steady steam of tiny bubbles form a pretty mousse. The nose has strawberries, slight orange peel and just a hint of currants. Medium bodied. Nice acidity. Fresh and clean. On the palate, the red currants really come out along with a bit of red raspberries. Nice finish. This drinks easily and served as a wonderful prelude to a long dinner, both stimulating the palate and working well with Potato Pave. Drink over the next few years
Pale salmon/orange in color. There is a nice mousse with lots of medium and small bubbles. On the nose there are strawberries, cherries and oranges. Not too pronounced but persistent. On the palate, the cherries carry thru along with some orange peel (bitter in a good way). There is a lot of acidity on this wine. That is a great thing for working with food and waking up the palate. Of course, palate's vary as well. An very long finish that really lasts. This is not a big wine. There is persistent fruit but it won't overwhelm food and in fact, it works great with a wide variety of
Pink/orange in color, clear and bright with a lovely mousse of tiny bubbles. The nose is pretty with strawberries. Medium to full bodied. On the palate, this is starting to show some age but also has enough acidity to keep things lively. Cherries, some cranberries and slight grapefruit notes. Very deep. Long finish. This is delicious but also complex. It will evolve into a mature Champagne so drink soon unless that is good with your tastes. If so, it has another ten to fifteen years. Very food friendly, it would be great with roasted duck.
