Description
64% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay.
"Delicate, fragrant bouquet of fresh, slightly distilled tart red fruit (cherries, blackcurrants) combined with chalky and toasted almond notes resulting from the autolysis process. Almost more of a white champagne than a rosé! The palate is poised, powerful and vinous, giving the impression of a well-crafted juice. The texture is caressingly soft and almost comforting. This rosé champagne gives itself over immediately and with no holds barred, revealing a great softness that is delicious and almost sensual. A fresh f inish lightens the whole with a slight, ripe and tannic bitterness that adds depth and persistence of flavour." - Louis Roederer
"The 1998 Rosé Late Release is laced with hints of wild cherry, mocha, chocolate, leather and dried herbs. Even in this under the radar vintage, the Rosé shows so much character and freshness. At times, it comes across as a mini-Cristal Rosé, a comparison I am very comfortable making, having tasted numerous vintages of that Champagne recently." - 93 points, Antonio Galloni
