Description
The Rose de Craie cuvée by Etienne Calsac is an astonishing rosé champagne, offering both mineral and fruity notes. "Attention lovers of unusual champagne, this one's for you!" says Patrick Borras.
The Rose de Craie cuvée is a blend of 88% Chardonnay from the Marne Valley and the Côte des Blancs, and Pinot Noir vinified in red. Malolactic fermentation was carried out to bring a little roundness to the wine. Fifteen percent of the cuvée was vinified in oak barrels. It is Extra Brut (5g/l) to highlight its tension and freshness. A superb cuvée.
Tasting
By Patrick BorrasRobe
The Rose de Craie cuvée is a Champagne with a pale orange-pink color and orange highlights. It has a beautiful brilliance and very fine, light bubbles.
Nose
The sound is surprising, with a very mineral freshness and a very fruity nose, evolving into notes of spicy red fruits. It has an astonishing nose with intense, powerful aromas (wild musk, garrigue, thyme).
Palate
On the palate, we find what makes this cuvée so unique: great aromatic intensity, underscored by fine bubbles. Intense and powerful are the words that best describe this champagne.
Service
Calling all lovers of exceptional champagne! I recommend enjoying it at a serving temperature of 9°C.
