The 2004 Brut Rose Extra Cuvee de Reserve is quite fruity and vinous at first but then the minerality kicks in, giving the wine its energy and sense of focus. Crushed flowers, spices and mint unfold in the glass, adding complexity and nuance. Overall, this is a fairly delicate, feminine style of Rose that can be enjoyed as an aperitif or alongside a meal. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019.
**Note: From 20 grand and premier cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs, 65% pinot noir, 35% chardonnay**
A discreetly fruity nose offers up cool and agreeably fresh notes of raspberry and strawberry. The mousse is quite generous, indeed foamy is not over the top to describe the sensation on the mid-palate yet the clean, pure and crisp finish is decidedly refreshing. This moderately dry effort is not the most complex vintage-dated rosé on the market but I very much like the style.
A pale pink blush to the colour, the nose here is of ripe strawberries, peaches, and red currants with slight brioche notes. The palate has red cherries and stone fruit with hints of bready, yeasty notes in the background. There is refreshing acidity to lift the palate, leaving clean flavours of summer fruits that linger on the finish.
