Rosé 2014

$129.95

- New arrival on Emperor Champagne!

- Boutique Champagne house in the Côte des Bar

- Vinous, fresh and powerful style of maceration rosé

This is a vinous style of rosé de saignée with long maceration of 72 hours. Aged in 228L barrels of more than 5 years to soften the prominent tannin complexity. Expect notes of Griotte Cherry, cassis and herbal edged rhubarb, with a powerful, vinous yet fresh finish. This is very Burgundian with pretty florals opening up along the way. Pair with Lobster or Langoustine Ravioli, Thai Style. Suggest decanting or opening at least 15 minutes before to show all the exotic aromas.
