Fine & Rare!! Delicious now, will develop well through 2035.

The 2010 is composed of 55% Chardonnay from the Crus of Chouilly, Mesnil, and Cramant and 45% Pinot Noir from Verzenay, Mareuil, and Ludes. It was vinified completely in stainless steel with partial malolactic fermentation, gaining its color from red wine grown in the Valleofois vineyard. This vineyard sits next to the mighty Clos des Goisses in Mareuil, and the ancient vines add subtle depth to this rosé that must be tasted to be believed.

With a gorgeous strawberry and copper color and the most perfect tiny bead of bubbles, this wine is just fun to look at. On the nose, it has the pastry crust aromas from over 10 years of aging on the lees, and subtle, detailed, dark Maraschino cherry from the ancient-vine Pinot Noir that gives the wine its color. The easy drinking, bright, and light style of this wine belies the inner complexity of spice, dried fruit, and deep chalky minerality in the glass if you pay attention to it. This is a chance to obtain the unattainable, and I will be putting a case in my cellar for the future"
