Description

Generous passion fruit, raspberry and a hint of orange zest won't be missed on the nose. Persistent bubbles dance in the flute, while bright tangy flavors of cranberry, raspberry, grapefruit are mellowed by a touch of vanilla on a pleasant palate that finishes with a clean, quenching acidity.

Wine Critic Reviews

"The 2022 Brut Rosé includes about 5% still red Pinot and spent two full years en tirage. There's notably more weight here, with the extra time in barrel building in notes of spice and ripe cherry/berry fruit. Chalky acids brace a fine, effervescent finish with good lift and savory nuance. Sea spray, lemon and shades white truffle hang around on the finish. Very nicely done." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous
