Rosé Prestige 1998
Rosé Prestige
Brut Vintage 1998: 1998 was perfect for creating a rosé

On the eye, a light gleaming salmon pink, fine mouse with a delicate ribbon.
Nose fine and subtle, with a scent of red fruit, quince and vanilla.
Mouth: Lovely collaboration between frank, mouth-filling fruit and delicacy on the palate (orange citrus, cherry and fresh apricots).
Food & wine: A refined and fruit forward champagne that will accompany desserts (red fruit fondant) full flavoured carpaccios, warm oysters and delicious fresh fruits (apricot, strawberries etc).
