Beaumont des Crayeres Grand Rose (75cl)

Tasting Notes:

Pale pink in colour with citrus and raspberry aromas, leading to a delicate palate with a fine mousse and flavours of red fruits, grapefruit and blackberries. A very crisp and refreshing Rosé champagne.

Review:

Classic example of how the art of the blend is used to make rosé champers. They mix 25% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 40% Pinot Meunier to create this open-knit, cherry-infused sparkler.

It is dry, rich, yet gentle, with an underlying fruitiness on the long finish.

My note: Most people don’t realize that rosé bubbly is often more difficult to make than “regular” bubbly and often has more complex, richer, deeper flavors and is bone-dry.

Too much of a hang-over from our sweet pink fizz days.) It’s also lovely to look at in the glass.

Pale orange. Dark berries, rhubarb, dried rose and toasty lees on the fragrant nose. Supple and expansive on the palate, offering intense black raspberry and blood orange flavors plus a hint of anise.

A smoky nuance builds with air and carries through a long, penetrating finish.
