De Venoge Princes Rosé

The NV Princes Brut Rosé is 100% Pinot Noir sourced in Verzenay (80%) and Les Riceys (20%). The wine has a clear, fresh and noble bouquet of red fruit aromas (wild strawberries, red currants), gooseberries, pink grapefruit and orange zest. This all combines with a noble smokiness and Pinot vinosity. The attack on the palate is as clear and fresh as if you were biting into a crisp Granny Smith apple. The wine is intense, firmly structured and aromatic in its dense, long and fruity finish that makes it an ambitious aperitif and a good partner with lobster or salmon. This is a seriously good Rosé that is entirely based on the 2012 vintage and contains 6% of red wine from 40-year-old vines cultivated in the lieu dit “La Forêt” in Les Riceys. Disgorged in July 2017 with a dosage of six grams per liter. - Stephan Reinhardt

Sourced from Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys, the Princes Rosé has a delicate and fresh bouquet. The aromatics are compelling with notes of raspberry, gooseberry and lime. The dynamic palate is outstanding, with a fine bead of bubbles energizing its tense texture, climaxing with a citrusy flourish to its long finish. Dosage: 6 g/L.
