| Tasting note |
This cuvée is salmon-pink in colour. It has a beautiful effervescence with a string of fine bubbles. On the nose, flavours of ripe strawberry followed by raspberry. On the finish and once the wine has warmed up slightly, notes of quince, blood orange and verbena are revealed. The well-balanced palate is dominated by notes of strawberry, raspberry but also pink grapefruit and lemon.

The Wine Merchant, March 2016Jean-Pierre Mareigner wanted to make a wine to pair with the desserts of his childwood: crêpes Suzette, orange blossom cake and pear tart with cinnamon - no Angel Delight in sight. There's a very gentle red-fruit sweetness working its magic in this Chardonnay-led blend, and a nice citrus crunch to the finish. 91 points, Wine Enthusiast, June 2017'Confusingly, in the world of Champagne, Extra Dry means slightly sweet. So this pale colored rose is soft, treading a fine line between bright acidity and a riper, confected character. That sweetness is well integrated, though, in keeping with the crisp Gosset Style...' |
