Another fantastic release from the Besserat de Bellefon lineup is their NV Brut Rosé Champagne. This pale colored Rose Champagne is a blend of 40% Pinot Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. The wine opens to aromatics of red cherry, cran-raspberry and cremini mushroom. The balance and poise of this wine is excellent. There are medium weight flavors of teaberry, red raspberry, Unami and red cherry with guava that persist through a long, mineral and saline driven finish as the saline quality of this wine is really lovely. Similar to the Brut bottling, the Brut Rosé has some nice aging potential. (Best 2016-2026) - September, 2016 (OB)
