Champagne Barons De Rothschild Rose NV
Volume: 750ml
True to Barons de Rothschild’s Chardonnay hallmark signature, the original production process used for this champagne is above all that of a great “Blanc de Blancs Rosé”.
Eyes: pale pink hue with salmon tints and fine bubbles.
Nose: the Chardonnay dominates in this wine with a lovely minerality and aromas of fresh fruit, citrus and white flowers. Once the wine has opened up, a few notes of raspberries, rose petals and wild strawberries reveal the subtle presence of the Pinot Noir.
Palate: the wine is fresh and precise on entry to the palate disclosing a silky texture and tangy notes of lemon and other citrus fruit. Notes of red fruit and small berries such as blackberries and redcurrants then start to come through, revealing a crisp wine with a fabulously long, mineral finish.
