Blanc Rosé

The Blanc Rosé from EPC owes its name to its high Chardonnay content of 90 per cent. The grapes come 100 per cent from Premier Cru sites in Vertus and are vinified there by a group of growers. The base is the 2016 harvest, and the dosage is 6 g/l. Accordingly, the rosé looks pale and delicate in the glass, with red fruit and raspberries on the nose.

On the palate it convinces with great freshness and clear fruit, without feeling heavy. That makes it an easy companion at the summer table, especially with grilled sardines. It is also a good choice as an aperitif. Pour it well chilled at 8 to 10 degrees, ideally in the Blida glass, with which EPC links back to champagne tradition. The thermosensitive dot on the bottle shows when the temperature has been reached.
