Rosé 2012

Henriot's Rosé 2012 is a vintage rosé made exclusively from Premier Cru and Grand Cru sites. It is 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay. 2012 is regarded in Champagne as a very good vintage, and you can taste exactly that here: freshness and ripeness are in balance. After more than five years of ageing, the nose shows delicate fruit and minerality.

On the palate strawberries dominate, carried by a complex structure and good balance. The quality of the wine suggests remarkable ageing potential. Serve it at 9 to 11 °C in a white wine glass. It works as an aperitif and goes with veal medallions or turbot, where its fruit and structure come into their own. The bottle comes in a gift box, which also makes it suitable as a present.
