Chartogne Taillet Le Rose Brut Champagne

Grower Champagne. Steeped raspberry and almond skin aromas and flavors are framed by zesty acidity in this distinctive version, while the fine mousse provides a creamy cloak for the firm structure, carrying accents of pink grapefruit pith, ground anise, minerally saline and chalk. Disgorged February 2019. Drink now through 2023. 92 PointsWine Spectator, December 2019

The new disgorgement that we received has put flesh back on the bones of this rose. The nose shows cream wild strawberry, and a touch of woodsy spice. The palate has been softened up by 7 gram of dosage with soft fruits and a baked peach and strawberry fruit tone balanced by moderate acid. D&M Tasting Notes, June 2020
