Champagne is always better from magnum! The only straight vintage rosé from the masters of the style, save for the first, the 2010. This wine is composed of 52% Chardonnay from the Grand Crus of Mesnil, Avize, Cramant and Chouilly and 48% Pinot Noir from Ambonnay, Mareuil, Verzenay, Ay and Verzy. The red wine comes from ancient vines in the Vallofroy vineyard just next to the Clos des Goisses in Mareuil. It has been aged for an incredible 100 months on the lees and dosed low at just 4.7g/L. With great black cherry Pinot fruit married to deep chalky drive, and a style that is never imposing and always delicate, this is a great statement on just how great rosé Champagne can be! -Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer
