Charles Ellner, Champagne Rosé Brut

Champagne, France

The robe is strong pink : an invitation to the eyes. Strong on the nose with hints of strawberry, this  champagne develops intensively fruity aromas. The Chardonnay that represents half of the blend is giving it freshness, but also longevity.

Wine Spectator: 91 pts...."A finely balanced, mouthwatering rosé Champagne, with firm acidity backing flavors of tangy cherry, candied strawberry, toast, smoke and spiced plum. Bright and lively, with a clean mineral finish. Drink now through 2016. 20,000 cases made." - AN, Nov 2011
