Claude Genet Champagne Rosé Grand Cru Brut N/V

From Ambonnay's chalky Grand Cru vineyards, this salmon-hued rosé offers a delicate yet persistent stream of bubbles. The complex nose layers red currant, blood orange, and freshly baked pain d'épices aromas. The palate balances richness and freshness beautifully—flavors of wild strawberry, almond paste, and a touch of saline minerality earned 92 points for their harmony. A blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay with 6% still red wine, aged 48 months on lees, this 12.5% alcohol prestige cuvée finishes with impressive depth. Serve with smoked salmon or duck pâté to appreciate its Grand Cru pedigree.
