Charles Heidsieck, Rosé Brut

Lovely, graceful pink sparkler blessed throughout with delicate red fruits, creamy undertones and touches of minerality. Considering the parentage, it' s no surprise that this is a polished, practically seamless wine. Great stuff.
(Sparkler of the month - 4/5 Stars - Decanter - January 2009)

The palest of rosés made with the addition pf 7% red wine from the great villages of Ambonnay and Bouzy lending a delicate copper tint. The nose is rich with yeast and brioche notes; red fruits (fresh strawberry and raspberry) not evident at first, increase with time in the glass. Similar profile on the palate with almost chalk/mineral and citrus notes and red fruits again increasing over time. A very elegant, subtle rosé, drinking beautifully now, but which I suspect will gain further weight over the next year or so.
