Notes | |||
"A hymn to the bright delicacy of Pinot Noir, the Premiere Cuvee Rosé is named on account of its composition of only the first pressing. The pink copper color with a hint of raspberry when young evolves to salmon while ageing. The fine bubbles are due to a strict selection of the best grapes, perfectly controlled temperature in the cellar and very long ageing. The initial aromas of redcurrant and red fruits evolve to morello cherry, wild strawberry and violet while breathing in the glass. A touch of lemon denotes the discrete presence of Chardonnay. With age, aromas tend towards dark fruits like dark cherry, fig and blackberry. Red fruit captured at their full freshness on the palate. The finish is bright and long." —winemaker |

"A masterful blend based on pinot noir from Mailly, Verzenay, Bouzy and Les Riceys, this includes reserve wines going back to 1985, as well as a little chardonnay for freshness. It opens with spicy apple-blossom scents followed by a cascade of flavors—juicy hints of strawberries, cherries, raspberries and watermelon—in a bright, complex and dynamic finish. Tiny bubbles help bridge its richness to elegance." —Wine & Spirits |
