Brut Rosé 2005

The Rosé 2005 from Charles Heidsieck is an assemblage rosé in which Chardonnay and Pinot Noir come together. It lay on the lees for more than ten years. You can taste it: even on the nose it feels full and powerful, carried by exceptional Chardonnay and subtle, aromatic Pinot Noir.

On the palate it is flavourful, weighty and richly textured, with lovely aromatic length. Yet it stays balanced and shows promising ageing potential. Thanks to its power it can handle more robust cooking, for example duck breast, pigeon or grilled tuna. Serve it at 10 to 12 °C, no colder, so the aromas do not stay closed. A wide white wine glass or a small Burgundy glass gives it room.
