Charles de Cazanove Brut Rosé Champagne

This rich, round rosé is a truly affordable luxury. Although thus far off the radar of wine critics, I think it's the best wine from de Cazanove, with its lovely strawberry color and aromas. Full-bodied but nicely balanced, this wine will make a great aperitif or pair well with a charcuterie plate or after-dinner fruit salad. The base of the wine is 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Meunier, and 20% Chardonnay, and 15% red wine is added to this to give the wine its color, aroma and rosé flavor.(Gary Westby, K&L Champagne buyer)
