Wine Review: Once again this Rose hits all the right notes. This orange-hued salmon colored Champagne opens with notes of chalk, cherries, brioche, and roasted pecans. On the palate, the smoked nut flavors are the backbone of the stone fruits and berries flavors. The acidity is hidden as its minerality, which is nice, doesn't completely dry out the mouth. The finish is medium in length and the rounder bubbles help it sit and last. Drink it on its own, but it would also pair nicely with Asian cuisine or seared scallops. - Nicolay

Winemaker Notes: This charming pink blushed champagne is both delicate and harmonious. It is illustriously pink with copper reflections. It displays rich concentrated fruit weight with distinguished floral and honeyed aromas complementing perfect balance between vinosity and freshness. Perfect for all occasions, it can be enjoyed as an aperitif but also lends itself perfectly to red fruit desserts and raspberry-white chocolate macaroons.
