2018 Late Disgorged Brut Rosé
In Stock
Since 2005 we have produced this beautiful, aged rosé in very limited quantities. Our devoted “bubble heads” patiently wait for its release each year. The beauty of our methóde traditionnelle wines is that the longer they age, the more harmonious and elegant they become. This rosé, from the 2018 vintage, is labeled as “Late Disgorged” because it is held back for an additional two years for a total of five years resting on the lees (aka “sur lie”).
Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A captivating perfume of raspberry, peaches, potpourri, and candied hazelnut leads to lustrous layers of apricots, baked peaches, rose hip, and pie crust with a hint of honeycomb on the silky, lingering finish. Rich and expansive while delicate and poised, it showcases its pedigree and patient cellaring, sip after beautiful sip.
Vineyard Notes
2018 saw the coolest temperatures since the 2011 growing season, allowing an extended hang time for the fruit and longer flavor development. Additionally, replenished reservoirs and healthy vineyards from the abundant rains of the previous vintage allowed for a larger than normal crop. These elements translate to the perfect combination of a high-yield and high-quality vintage that winemakers dream about.
Food Pairing Notes
This is a serious, aged rosé for the bubbly aficionado. We suggest pairing this wine with oven-roasted pork loin or peach pie.
