Tasting Notes
Appearance: 

Light salmon-pink robe with nice and bright highlights.

Aroma: 

The mousse is dense, and the ring of bubbles is deep and persistent.

Palate: 

Elegant and complex nose: delicate floral notes, such as roses, iris and orange flowers, evolve towards deeper and more creamy flavors. The palate is crispy at first, and then shows pleasant cherry and raspberry savours. This Grand Crémant de Bourgogne perfectly balances freshness and a round and long finish.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

According to AOC regulations, The grapes were picked by hand and placed in perforated cases. A small percentage (5%) of the wine was aged in 3- 4 year-old barrels for 6 months. After the “prise de mousse” , the bottles underwent 24 months ageing “sur lattes” to refine the wine and help intensify the aromas of this fine Bourgogne Rosé.
