Champagne, France
Copper in color with a golden hue.
Fruity nose with light yeast, light raspberries, apples, light metals and caramel notes.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with over ripened apples, light red fruits, limes, citrus, spices, light yeast, sea salt, light earth and herbs.
Long finish with limes.
This is a delicious Rosé Champagne. Elegant, and a tad over it's peak. Complex and interesting.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
A blend of 47% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier. Disgorged in 2013.
12.5% alcohol by volume.

Dark copper in color.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity, and small bubbles.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouth feel.
Showing raspberries, lemons, apples, cherries, brioche, light earth, herbs, light yeast and white pepper.
Long finish with tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Rosé Champagne with some nice age. This 19-year-old is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and rich with tiny bubbles.
A little tight right out of the bottle, and needs time to show the complexity, especially on the nose. Easy drinking and needs 30 minutes in the decanter to open up properly.
Drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.

Brilliant. Slight strawberry nose, tart flavors, great acid and mellowed by the creaminess..paired with hard cheeses.
