Wine Review: This salmon-hued Champagne has a nice toasty nose with notes of raspberry, rosemary, and touches of cedar. The palate is rich but still maintains an elegance to it. Roasted walnuts, rosemary, hints of sage, and raspberries are pronounced flavors on the palate. These notes are followed by hints of fig and mint. The finish is nice and long with the flavors hanging on for some time. This sparkler would pair well with bay oysters or bacon-wrapped scallops. – Nicolay

Winemaker Notes: Pale pink in appearance and tinged with copper, with a fine and persistent bead in the glass. On the nose, this Champagne may surprise with its characteristic, complex intensity and appealing fruit-driven style. Red and dark berry fruit aromas of raspberry, strawberry and crunchy cherry, followed by freshly squeezed lemon, pink grapefruit and mandarin orange. Well-balanced on the palate, revealing incredible, unashamed persistence. Attractive balsamic and floral flavors pave the way for spicy notes, in a wave of great freshness. The tasting culminates in a lingering touch of sweetness.
