"There is a finesse and crystal-clear elegance that makes me happy. This rosé reminds me very much of the white '89, with its perfect balance, crackling acidity, and irresistible aromatic purity. A wonderful gift from the Royal Ballet's premier dancer, Brendan Collins. Best “Party Champagne” ever produced, according to the Millennium Tasting. Slightly less fascinating in a perhaps not perfectly stored case lately. The development is slightly too rapid in comparison with what I was expecting, and while the wine has indeed gained in strength and depth, it has lost too much in elegance."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The northerly region that gives its name to the world's most celebrated sparkling wine, made by secondary fermentation in bottle from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Chalky soils and a cool climate yield wines of finesse and longevity.
The sole appellation for true Champagne, producing sparkling wines of finesse and complexity by traditional method from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
A key Champagne grape lending fruitiness, roundness and approachability to blends alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
