Veuve Clicquot Vintage Rosé Brut Champagne 2008

A subtle and delightful rosé accompanied the Lobster Thermidor main course, while the accompanying cheese course proved to be a more nuanced pairing, with nuances of strawberry, raspberry, apple, lime, toast, and yeast.

A smooth and elegant rosé champagne with a soft Pinot Noir influence, demonstrating a gentle stability of strawberry, raspberry, and lemon meringue pie notes. The nose is featured by a salmon pink hue, and yet the mouthfeel exhibits a vibrant acidity, redcurrant, and spice flavors. The finale is long and mineral, with a accent of gamey undertones. This wine is a masterclass in finesse and sophistication, and will undoubtedly age well. Paired nicely with a selection of French cheeses, it is a truly outstanding champagne.

Faint and crisp rosé with a subtle floral and citrus character, refined by a zesty crispness and a dash of minerality.
