Perrier-Jouet Blason Brut Rose, Champagne, France (1.5L MAGNUM)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES: The color is medium salmon with copper highlights. The bouquet displays aromas of ripe strawberry and bright red raspberry, with notes of light spice hinting at Hawaiian pink ginger, Mandarin orange, and honey with a touch of earthiness. On the palate, the wine shows freshly crushed strawberries with citrus and earth notes on the very long, persistent finish. TASTING NOTES: Very dry and flavorful with cherries, strawberries and pomegranate. Some flintiness. It’s full and intense with electric acidity and a sense of tannins underneath. This is a rosé Champagne to go with food. Drink now. - James Suckling, 92 pts.
