Pommery Brut Rose Champagne
Submitted by THE WINE SCHOOL OF PHILADELPHIA
The sound of a champagne’s “pop” is music to my ears and while this tune is often only heard during special occasions or holiday celebrations I recommend playing it more often. In fact, celebrating life itself is a good enough excuse to open a bottle of the beautiful Pommery Brut Rosé Champagne!
This rose-gold coloured beauty of a brut made with 1/3 Chardonnay, 2/3 Pinot noir and Pinot Meunier grapes is full of surprises. The fragrant nose is redolent of cantaloupe and wild strawberries with a dash of sweet cinnamon. The firm mousse decorates the top of the glass with its creamy white foam. This is a full-bodied Rosé and although aged for three years, has a liveliness that comes from the long-lasting tiny bubbles that tickle the tongue with a dance of excitement.
Flavor profiles are reminiscent of a lightly toasted millet muffin topped with sliced, fresh, but still tart strawberries. Wonderful paired with food or enjoyed on its own, it has the musical notes sounding out as the components of dryness, tart acidity, and crisp, focused flavors that come together in perfect harmony to create the well structured verses of this romantic Champagne melody!
