“This was the first blended rosé created by Madame Clicquot in 1888, by adding some still red wine to the assemblage of white wine. It has a brilliant coppery-pink colour with hints of sunset. A palate of wild strawberries, raspberry, pink grapefruit, yellow peaches with red veins and the pink section of the watermelon. There is a lovely nose of deep pink camellias and lilies. Lots of reserve wines - 35% to 40% and back to 5 or 6 previous harvests, which gives this wine a delectable & enjoyable palate." - Bernadette O’Shea, Champagne Consultant, The Wine Emporium
"The robe is luminous, tinged with rosy highlights. The Brut Rosé offers a rich aromatic profile, combining red and black fruits (cherry, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry), spices (white pepper, saffron, licorice), pastries (biscuit, croissant), all enhanced by accents of toast, orange peel, and gingerbread linked to aging on lees. The blend is structured by Pinot Noir, the true backbone of the wine. The addition of 12% red wine from Bouzy brings depth and power on the palate. A harmonious balance of freshness and structure with aromas of red fruits, biscuit, pastry, and a long, elegant finish." - House Notes
