Tasting Notes
Colour: Salmon pink in colour, evolving towards coppery glints. Fine, creamy and persistent bubbles.
Nose: Initial nose of red fruit, with notes of cherries and wild strawberries. Over time, hints of citrus fruit and grapefruit peel emerge.
Palate: The palate is elegant and pure. The finish is full and ample, carried by good acidity and a slight astringency that brings out the fruit. An excellent match for smoked fish and meat (ham, bacon) or pink meat (veal,
lamb). Goes beautifully with desserts made with red berries, served on their own or in a soup. Serve chilled but not iced (9°C) for an aperitif.
Grape Varieties: 68% Pinot Noir, including red and rosé de saignée: 4.65% 30% Chardonnay, 2% Pinot Meunier.
