The Rosé Built for Ice
Most Champagne wilts over ice; this one is blended for it — a demi-sec dosage and an intense Pinot Noir fruit core chosen, per the house, for dosage integration, with Meunier for roundness and a small Chardonnay share for a polished, refreshing finish.

Tasting Notes
From the producer: a vivid pink with golden highlights; morello cherry, lingonberry and cranberry with fig, nectarine and a note of grenadine; a luscious palate balancing sweetness and firmness, finishing on a delicately bittersweet pink-grapefruit note.
How to Enjoy
Pour it over ice in a wide glass and let the chill open the red fruit — that serve is the entire point of the cuvee. It suits poolside afternoons, berry desserts and spicy starters.
