Champagne Grand cru Rosé de Saignée N/V

- 93 points -

(100% Pinot Noir from Vertus, with 3 g/l dosage): Light, bright orange. Pungent blood orange, strawberry and rose pastille scents are lifted and sharpened by a chalky mineral quality. Fleshy but dry and precise, offering intense red berry and bitter citrus pith qualities and a hint of tarragon. Shows red wine-like character and Champagne nerve, finishing with resonating florality and a touch of smokiness. This characterful pink Champagne would go with a host of foods, rich or on the light side.
