Brut Rosé Réserve luxury casket

The Brut Rosé Réserve from Charles Heidsieck shows a powdery pink and relies on fullness. The cuvée contains 20% reserve wines, on average five years old. 5% of the blend is red wine from Les Riceys in the Côte des Bar, which gives the rosé tannin and grip. The remaining 80% is split in equal parts between Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay.

On the nose it recalls strawberry jam made in a copper pan, with a hint of vineyard peach. On the palate it is juicy and fleshy, with raspberry, blackberry and strawberry, and it ends lively. It suits an aperitif, a Sunday brunch or a dessert with red fruit. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass with a little belly, so the fruit can unfold. Each bottle comes in its own gift box.
