Pierre Gimonnet & Fils 1er Cru Rose de Blancs Champagne

Rich and airy upon entry with a tense, bone dry finish.

A blend of 93% Chardonnay and 7% Pinot Noir that pours with an exuberant mousse which gradually fades in to a pale salmon pink coloured base. Exceptionally fine bead. Aromas of pear, yeast lees and strawberry sail through the olfactory senses followed by some oily baked bread and chalk notes. Rich and airy upon entry it has mouth filling pear, yeast lees, strawberry and oily baked bread flavours overlaying subtle hazelnut and chalky mineral elements. Crisp acidity imparts a nervy feel. The lingering bone dry finish combining tension and length.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews…..
Attractive salmon color with flint, white-pepper and delicate cantaloupe aromas that follow through to a medium body with bitter grilled-lemon and orange-peel flavors. Very intense aftertaste. Lots of character. A blend of 94% chardonnay and 6% pinot noir. Dosage 5 g/L. Drink now.
