Champagne Extra Brut Rosé

France
Champagne
NV
Based on the 2021 vintage. Approximately 45% Chardonnay blended with Meunier and Pinot Noir pressed white, as well as still Pinot Noir from Grand Cru Mailly, which was aged in oak barrels, for the delicate pink color. Savory, structured, and saline rose Champagne that is a delight to have with food.

"Fragrant and appealing, with warm baking spice, vanilla and chopped hazelnut notes enriching flavors of ripe white peach and white cherry, blood orange peel and pickled ginger, all set on a chalky base. A firm spine of acidity is well-meshed, wrapped in the refined mousse and carrying the profile through the lasting finish. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier"

"a blend of fifty percent chardonnay, thirty-seven percent pinot noir and thirteen percent pinot meunier. Ten percent of the pinot noir is still red wine, giving the wine a lovely, pale salmon color and the dosage this year is four grams per liter. The base year of the new release is 2013, with a small bit of reserve wine blended in. The bouquet is very refined and lifted in the classic Ployez style, offering up scents of wild strawberries, orange zest, chalky minerality, patissière, dried roses and a touch of fresh nutmeg in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, crisp and elegant, with a fine core, utterly refined mousse, bright acids and impeccable balance on the long, complex and racy finish. This is still a young wine, but very easy to drink today. That said, it is built for at least a few years of bottle age and will really be stunning from 2020 onwards. 2017-2035."

"The NV Extra Brut Rosé is terrific. Fresh and vibrant, with notable depth, the Rosé is an absolutely joy to taste. All the elements are so nicely balanced. Crushed raspberry, cranberry, orange peel, spice an dried rose petal are some of the notes that build into the expansive, vinous finish"
