René Geoffroy Blanc de Rosé Extra Brut
50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir
Not a classic assemblage champagne!
Both grape varieties are macerated together, so the juice from the two grape varieties also comes into contact with the grape skin of the other.
Average age of the vines: 30 years
Without malolactic fermentation
Dosage: 2-4g/l
Tasting FEB20: Very charming fruit, lots of elegance, multi-layered red fruits, not as strong as Saignée, floral, puristic, clear and yet fruity.
JP Geoffroy: "Our aim when we created this new vintage was to strive for a Rosé Champagne that was different, lighter. The delicate nose reveals notes of rose and violet petals and a hint of grenadine. In the mouth the striking minerality releases aromas of mandarin orange zest and pink grapefruit. The whole is complemented by a wonderful bitterness and very pleasant freshness as it fades from the mouth. While this Blanc de Rose is perfect as an aperitif, it finds a place of honor when taken with raw fish, such as a slightly marinated carpaccio of salmon and halibut or a simple red tuna sashimi."
Antonio Galloni Vintage NV – 94P: This is superb. Rich, effusive and so wonderfully inviting, the Blanc de Rose checks all the boxes. Sweet floral accents meld into a core of red berry fruit, cinnamon and blood orange. Two years post-disgorgement, the 2013 has an extra kick of bottle complexity that rounds things out nicely.
