Rosé

Konrat's rosé is a champagne for the kitchen. It is made of 60% Meunier, 20% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, half of which ages in oak casks. To this is added 11.5% red Meunier wine, matured in a demijohn. All the grapes come from Montigny-sous-Châtillon and are vinified according to the lunar calendar. At only 1,148 bottles, it is a real rarity.

The perlage is fine, the nose woody with citrus notes. On the palate it is present and structured, with cherry, blackberry and raspberry. The acidity recalls English fruit drops and brings freshness, while the character stays vinous. That works with fish tartare, desserts with red fruit and summer aperitifs, but also with Japanese cuisine or duck and game in a sweet-and-sour sauce. Serve it at 8 to 10 degrees in a white wine glass.
