Barons de Rothschild Rosé, Champagne, France | NV | 750ml

Tasting Notes

Pale pink with salmon highlights and a fine bead. The nose opens on citrus, minerals and white flowers, then moves toward raspberry, rose petal and wild strawberry. The palate is fresh and precise with a silky texture, running from lemon into redcurrant and blackberry before a long, mineral finish.

About This Wine

This Brut Rosé from Champagne Barons de Rothschild is built on Chardonnay: 94% of the blend comes from the grand and premier cru villages of Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The remaining 6% is Pinot Noir from Verzenay, vinified as red wine to give the colour.

Reserve wines make up 40% of the blend, most of them drawn from the house's perpetual reserve. The wine spends at least two and a half years on its lees and rests for several months after disgorgement. Dosage is a low 6 g/l. Serve at 8 to 10°C.

Food Pairing

Serve with sushi, sashimi or tuna tartare, pink lamb, or a red fruit dessert that is not too sweet.
