Terroir
Estate vineyards are located in Ambonnay, Verzenay and Bouzy, grand cru-rated villages on the Montagne de Reims. Soils blend chalk and limestone.

Winemaking
Hand-harvested. Fermented on indigenous yeasts in
older French oak barrels. Aged for three years in bottle. Dosage 2 grams/L.

Eye
Clear salmon pink rose.
Nose
A bouquet of roses and small red berries announces the wine's subtle, delicate perfume.
Palate
The mouth shows more red fruit with a smooth, almost buttery quality; the density and complexity here are unparalleled. White pepper and wet stones follow on a lengthy, lively finish. A superb rosé!

Pairing
Smoked salmon; Asian-inspired cuisine, especially
sushi.
