Rosé

This Mumm Rosé is made from a blend of 77 crus, like the Cordon Rouge. Pinot Noir has the largest share at 60 per cent, 22 per cent Chardonnay provides finesse, and 18 per cent Pinot Meunier a fruity balance. It is blended by the traditional method with 12 to 14 per cent red wine, mainly from grands crus. With a dosage of 6 g/l it comes across as intense, fresh and balanced.

The nose brings cherry and strawberry with notes of vanilla, followed on the palate by red berries and a fine freshness. It goes well with an aperitif, smoked salmon and taramasalata, and desserts with red fruit. Here it comes in the magnum bottle, which suits larger gatherings and celebrations. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass with some volume.
