Description
The Brut Rosé Champagne by Chartogne-Taillet, disgorged in October 2020, is an elegant cuvée that showcases the unique character of the Merfy terroir. Made from a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, this rosé offers a harmonious balance of freshness and aromatic depth. Aged on lees for enhanced complexity, it reveals notes of red fruits complemented by marked minerality and vibrant acidity.
Blend
A balanced blend of Pinot Noir for structure and fruitiness, Chardonnay for finesse and freshness, and Pinot Meunier for roundness, creating an expressive and well-balanced rosé.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale pink with copper highlights and fine, persistent bubbles forming an elegant mousse.
Nose: Aromas of raspberry, strawberry, and redcurrant, with subtle notes of citrus, white flowers, and brioche, reflecting extended lees aging.
Palate: The palate is lively and creamy, with flavors of red berries balanced by well-integrated acidity and chalky minerality. The finish is long and elegant, with a subtle saline touch that adds freshness and precision.
Aging Potential
This Brut Rosé is delightful now for its freshness and complexity, but it can also develop further in the cellar over 3 to 5 years, gaining richer and more nuanced aromas.
Food Pairings
This rosé Champagne pairs beautifully with smoked salmon, grilled shrimp, and duck breast. It also complements creamy cheeses like Brie and red fruit desserts.
