This wine looks, smells and tastes like an elegant Pinot Noir despite the fact that the grapes gets fourth billing. Cabernet Franc, Pinot Meunier and Merlot lead the way, with Gamay bringing up the rear. The color is very strong for a rosé, and the Meunier brings a note of Champagne to the mix while the Cab Franc is pronounced on the palate. This drinks like a red wine without the tannic structure. It's very pleasant and leaves a bit of tea on the finish. Quite nice.
