Cuvée Grande Rose

The Grande Rosé from Montaudon combines power with finesse. The cuvée consists of 35% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier and 30% Chardonnay. A further 15% Pinot Noir is vinified as red wine and gives the rosé its colour and structure. The name recalls the Great Rose, the 13th-century stained-glass window of Reims Cathedral. The grapes come from consistent parcels and sites, so that the style remains recognisable year after year.

On the nose it is delicate, with liquorice and toasty notes. On the palate it is crisp, with red berries and fine spice. That makes it versatile: as an aperitif, with fresh goat's cheese, with strawberry tart or with fresh fruit salad. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass or a tulip.
