Rosé

The rosé from Jacques Selosse is made in very small quantities and exclusively from grand cru sites. The cuvée is 94 per cent chardonnay and 6 per cent pinot noir. It ages for at least six years in the cellar, and the dosage is low. The result is a characterful, vinous champagne that sits between richness and lightness and has little in common with classic rosé.

In the glass you find raspberry, wild strawberry, blossom, lemon and grapefruit, carried by lovely acidity. Exotic notes of ginger and musk add freshness. At the table it accompanies cold starters, seafood, dishes with briny, iodine notes and white meat. Serve it at 9 to 11 degrees in a large white wine glass.
