Paul Bara Rose Brut Grand Cru Champagne [W&S92][WS92][WA90]

"The addition of still pinot noir from Bouzy (12 percent) gives this wine a vinous character, deepening its raspberry freshness without diminishing the gingery feel of the mousse. It’s a clean wine with structure and stamina, a lovely match for duck confit." 

"Mouthwatering and harmonious, this is lightly chalky in texture, with a zesty layer of pink grapefruit peel, ground ginger and spicy mineral underscoring the white peach and blanched almond flavors. Offers a plush, lingering finish." 

"The NV Brut Grand Rose is an absolutely delicious wine, particularly at the NV level. This is a serious rose, which is immediately evident in the wine’s dark hue and dense, full-bodied personality. Their wine possesses layers of candied Pinot fruit, all woven together in a rich, sensual style. This sweeping, large-scaled rose will offer its finest drinking at the dinner table." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Soft, pink colored champagne with abundant, fine bubbles. Aromas of red fruits dominated by wild strawberry and cherry, and the typical peppery note of Pinot Noir. The palate mirrors the nose with strawberry and raspberry flavors, leading into notes of freshly baked viennoisseries and a morello cherry finish."
