Rosé Reserve has an attractive pinky-orange color with deep copper accents. Effervescence is lively and long-lasting. The nose is very expressive, with initial aromas of red and yellow fruit (wild strawberries, blueberries, peaches on the vine, pears) leading to warmer notes of figs and brioche. The attack is attractive and clear, with a good deal of strength and body in the background. The wine is superbly balanced between concentrated fruitiness and elegant freshness. Red fruit notes fill the palate and the Bouzy red wine plays its role to perfection. The wine has a satiny texture, and is solidly built and yet delicate at the same time. The finish is deliciously long, ending in silky, velvety tannins. The strength and generosity of Rosé Reserve makes it the ideal accompaniment to an entire meal. Although Rosé Reserve is currently enjoyable and very inviting, it would benefit from a long period of cellaring, developing more mature notes of undergrowth, toast, ripe fruit, and mild spices.
Champagne is a region of France, and only wines which come from this region can properly be called "Champagne".

The amount of sugar added after the second fermentation and aging varies and will dictate the sweetness level of the Champagne. Read More...
