Profile:
Salmon pink, red fruit bouquet, and a lively palate with strawberry and hints of spice.
Food Pairing: This can be enjoyed as much as an aperitif as with a meal, where it would provide the perfect foil for salmon, Bayonne ham, duck with red berry sauces, or certain fresh and creamy cheese, such as Chaource or Brillat Savarin.
How It Was Made:
The grapes for this blend hail from the Montagne de Reims (Pinot Noir) and the Côte des Blancs (Chardonnay). All the grapes are
pressed and vinified at Deutz’s state of the art winery in Aÿ, to give a clean white base wine. The blend gains its rosé colour from the addition of red wine (around 8%), made from Pinot Noir grown in the Meurtet vineyard on the hill directly behind the winery. This non-vintage blend traditionally has between 25% - 40% reserve wines. Upon assemblage, it spends 3 years ageing on the lees, and a further 6 months following dégorgement before release.
