RUINART BRUT ROSE, CHAMPAGNE FRANCE

94 points by Wine Spectator!

Brut Rosé from Maison RUINART is the very first rosé champagne ever created. It is elaborated from 45% Chardonnay, 55% Pinot Noir (18 to 19% of it being vinified as red), and completed with 20 to 25% of reserve wine from the two previous years. The Chardonnay’s freshness perfectly balances the roundness and nature of Pinot Noir.

The nose is subtle and fresh. It unveils exotic and small red fruits aromas, then develops rose and pomegranate notes.

On the palate, Ruinart Rosé offers a complex and intense aromatic bouquet. The silky and fleshy palate develops pomegranate, grapefruit and pepermint aromas.
