Cellar Master's tasting notes: The colour is a beautiful straw with gold overtones. The nose is especially ethereal, fine & delicate. Light, almost smoky tones reminiscent of the Orientoffer gently herbaceous notes of eucalypt, thyme, sage & wild mint. On the palate, the wine is immediately soft & yet savoury. Golden fruit flavours such as mirabelle & yellow peach come to the fore, leading on to this wine's full complexity & length. Finally on the brink of maturity, this cuvee is opening up to show all the magnificent ageing potential & class of a great 2002 Champagne. ...

Creating each blend lies at the heart of the Champagne making process & depends on the talent of the Cellar Master & his team of winemakers. Blend: 41% Chardonnay, 17% Pinot Noir & 42% Pinot Meunier. 25% of this blend is made up of reserve wine in order to enhance its maturity & complexity. Cellar master Richard Dailly's tasting notes: The colour is straw with undertones of green & gold. The taster's curiosity will be immediately aroused by a level of aromatic depth & complexity rarely observed in a non-vintage wine: roasted, toasty notes give way to almondy, cocoa bean scents; the soul of vintage Champagne in the body of a non-vintage would be the best way to describe this wine. On the palate, this evidence of careful ageing is supported by the wine's richness, generosity & silkiness. The Chardonnay dominates initially to give way to the more concentrated red fruit flavours from the Pinots. The aftertaste lingers on an enormously appealing & satisfying finish. Suggested wine & food pairings: This Champagne, made to complement good cooking, will accompany a starter such as a fish terrine equally easily as it will a main course of grilled or meuniere fish. ...

Of this total, 10% is Pinot made as red wine & 25% is selected from older reserve wines to give a note of maturity & complexity. Cellar Master Richard Dailly's tasting notes: The colour is pale salmon/pink grapefruit. The nose is subtle, reminiscent of plump, ripe wild strawberries & sun warmed plums. The palate is gentle, delicate & yet nicely rounded, with a finishing touch of crystallised fruit & a rich note of cherries in eau-de-vie, calling to mind the Pinot's essential contribution to a good Rose. This Cuvee has all the qualities of a white Champagne with the additional subtle charms that make Rose Champagne so different. Suggested Wine & Food Pairings: This rose Champagne will show at its best matched with warm fruit tarts, clafoutis & other desserts based on white & red berries. It will also make a delightful aperitif. ...
