Brice

Héritage Rosé | Bottle 75cl

Description

Brice's Héritage Rosé is a fruity, fresh champagne. It's a cuvée that goes wonderfully well with a red fruit dessert or even an aperitif dinner.

This is a rosé d'assemblage, i.e., a rosé obtained from the addition of red wine. This wine comes, of course, from Maison Brice's vineyards in Bouzy, one of the most famous villages in France for its red wines. This red wine is added to the same blend as the Cuvée Héritage, a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. The Pinots Noirs come from the terroirs of Bouzy and Loches-sur-Ource, while the Chardonnay comes from the Côte des Blancs village of Grauves.

This Champagne Rosé, created by Brice's cellar master Christophe Constant, is vinified and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve its freshness. Similarly, malolactic fermentation is not carried out, in order to preserve high tension.

The dosage is Extra Brut (5g/l), which simply underlines the aromatic, gourmet character of this Rosé Champagne.

Brice's cuvée Héritage Rosé has an elegant, powdery pink color and very fine bubbles.

On the nose, it reveals delicate notes of red fruit, with a more floral touch.

On the palate, this cuvée opens with a fresh, taut, almost chalky attack, then mid-palate recaptures the lovely red fruit notes discovered on the nose. The finish is lovely, slightly saline.

A very fine rosé champagne that will go well with red fruit desserts, but also, more surprisingly, with lobster or summer salads.
