WINE DESCRIPTION

The Cellar Master carefully selected exceptional years to craft this homage to King Louis XV, who granted Champagne wines numerous privileges in 1728. Classified as Grand Cru, this Rosé Champagne is at the pinnacle of quality. It's composed of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, blended with Bouzy red wine from previous years. Its robe resembles partridge eyes. A symphony of flavors unfolds, featuring small red fruits, white flowers, citrus, almonds, roasted brioche, and peppery hints. It boasts remarkable salinity in a very long finish. Ideal for pairing with warm oysters, basil-buttered clams, grilled steak, soft cheese, or Limoncello-infused lemon cake. Store horizontally, protected from light and noise, at around 70% humidity, and periodically taste to track its maturation.
