Note di degustazione
The 2013 Champagne Brut Rosé is a more elegant, medium-bodied Champagne that shines for its balance and seamless texture. Beautiful caramelized cherry, orange blossom, and strawberry notes all emerge from the glass, and it gains richness and depth with time. With its bright, lively style and a great finish, this is another beautiful wine from this estate.

The 2013 Vintage shows the compelling interplay of ripeness and high acids that are so typical of the year. The Vintage is built on a core of Pinot from Verzy, with Chardonnay from Chouilly, on the Cramant border. Constantly changing in the glass, the 2013 is a fabulous Champagne will reward readers with many years of exceptional drinking. The saltiness of Chouilly Chardonnay is a wonderful foil for Pinot here. Chef de Caves Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon continues to bump up the Pinot here, as he takes the Vintage back to the blend that was used in the 1840s. Dosage is 8.5 grams per liter.
White fruit immediately on the nose, as well as some very strong lemon and lime notes. Some gently chalky notes, too, from the Chouilly chardonnay, which is super chalky. The palate has such focus and drive and a great, mineral core. Very long with a fresh line of acidity and peripheral, smooth flesh. Some pink grapefruit at the finish. Drink or hold.
The 2013 Brut Rosé Vintage is gracious, perfumed and lifted. Sweet floral notes and red berry fruit are finely sketched in a Rosé that emphasizes energy and persistence. There is plenty of depth to the 2013, but it is more implied rather than overtly stated, as is the case with the 2012. Readers who enjoy subtle, nuanced Roses will find much to admire.
