2015 Raumland Rosé Reserve (90 months) Brut

The intensely antique-pink colored 2015 Rosé Réserve Brut, disgorged in February 2024 after 95 months on the lees, is a fascinating vinous, white assemblage of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc (each 23%), Auxerrois (21%) and Pinot Gris (33%) that has been colored with a Pinot Noir dosage. The wine is intensely fruity yet clear and very elegant on the nose that shows red fruits (berries and cherries), mushroom and yeasty aromas. Full-bodied, fresh and intense on the palate, this is a linear, quiet and vinous rosé with very fine salinity on the intense finish that is beautifully matured and balanced in all its lightness or weightlessness. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2024.
