Rosé casket

Mumm's Rosé is made from an assemblage of 77 crus, following the same principle as the Cordon Rouge. Pinot Noir leads with 60 per cent and gives power and character. Chardonnay (22 per cent) brings finesse, Pinot Meunier (18 per cent) fruit and balance. The colour comes from 12 to 14 per cent red wine, mostly from grands crus, added to the base wine. The dosage is 6 g/l.

The nose shows cherry and strawberry, accompanied by a delicate note of vanilla. On the palate the rosé stays fresh and balanced. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass. It suits an aperitif, smoked salmon and taramasalata, and desserts with red fruit. The gift packaging makes it a lovely gesture for rosé lovers.
