Quite a deep pale tomato colour - a sign of changing fashions in champagne tints? Not much nose. But round and very well balanced on the palate with some depth and grunt. Doesn't seem that dry but nor is it over-sweet. Satisfying and mouth-filling. Deep and dense. A very serious rosé. But I should imagine not a bargain one. Good persistence.
With an attractive touch of toastiness on this ripe wine, this is balanced and very ready to drink. In the house style, it is rich with a comparatively high dosage that gives it a soft character. Plenty of acidity and hints of red fruits provide a vibrant contrast. It is ready to drink.
The pink-orange colored 2008 Vintage Brut Rosé (disgorged March 2015) offers a very delicate, clear and elegant bouquet with juniper flavors. Clear, elegant and fresh on the palate, this is a round and well-structured, yet still very young Rosé with fine tannins and a nice grip in the finish. This is a refreshing palate cleanser that needs food or another 10-20 years to shine. Try it with pata negra or traditional Japanese dishes.
