The colour is a soft pink with orange & salmon highlights. Fine froth forming a creamy ring in the glass. The nose is intense & clean with notes of slightly candied small red fruit, especially wild strawberry. It carries suggestions of almond & red currant jelly. Good weight on the palate. Attack is slightly acid, then red fruit are back to the fore with black & red currants. Mouth is fleshy, fresh & tender. Definitely balanced with very silky texture. The finish is lively, not aggressive, with persistent length. Blend: 47 % Pinot Noir, 40 % Pinot Meunier, 13 % Chardonnay. Cuvee des Moines Rose Brut does not undergo malolactic fermentation.
