"The Jean Lallement et Fils “Réserve Rosée” non-vintage Brut is made entirely from pinot noir, from the family’s four hectares of vines split between the grand cru villages of Verzenay and Verzy, as well as a few in the premier cru village of Ludes, on the Montagne de Reims. The current release of the Réserve Rosée is a fairly deep salmon color and offers up a very vibrant and fairly vinous bouquet of blood orange, wheat bread, a bit of cherry skin, caraway seed, beautifully complex soil tones and a bit of smokiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and rock solid at the core, with crisp acids, great focus and grip, very elegant mousse and a very long, balanced and vinous finish. This is a superb bottle of Rosé that is best at the table, and though it is already quite tasty, clearly a couple more years in the cellar will allow it to develop some of its secondary layers of complexity and really start to hit on all cylinders. Fine juice."
