Clos du Moulin Rosé 1er Cru

The Clos du Moulin Rosé is, like its white sibling, a champagne from the plot of the same name belonging to Cattier. It is 60% pinot noir, of which 13% as red wine, and 40% chardonnay. Here too the house combines three selected vintages and lets the cuvée mature in the cellar for eight years. The dosage is 6 g/l. Only 4,000 bottles are produced, each one numbered.

The bouquet is fresh and fruity, with orange, raspberry and a hint of liquorice. On the palate it feels full of energy, with intense red fruits and spicy accents, yet light and with a long finish. It works as an aperitif and just as well with food: with prawns, scallops, roast lamb or a dessert of red fruits. Well chilled at 8 to 10 °C and in a white wine glass, the fruit and spice come across best.
