Alfred Gratien Description
The robe is reminiscent of rose petals. The healthy effervescence builds to an attractive mousse. The initial aroma is fruity (strawberries and redcurrants) and floral (peonies). Wheat, biscuit and crème fraiche notes are detectable, as are hints of more roasted flavors. The initial taste is clean, and then opens up to a pleasant structured quality. There is real harmony to this wine, bolstered by fine acidity, light tannin notes and discrete sweetness. Because it sparkles enthusiastically, the texture goes from 'gentle' to 'firm' and back again. It is long and the finish is slightly smoky with mineral notes.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Rich and toasty, with smoked almond, vanilla and brioche notes layered with the creamy mousse and flavors of raspberry coulis and mandarin orange peel. Remains fresh and focused, thanks to a racy streak of acidity that also drives the spiced finish. Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir.
