Huon Hooke - #4 of 88 NV Sparkling rosés from Champagne
A blend of pinot noir and 30% chardonnay, the pinot including 15% still red wine made from grapes grown in the Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys, giving the wine its distinctive colour. The colour is quite deep: a full, bright salmon-pink hue and the nose has very pinoty aromas of poached fruit, quince paste and raspberry shortcake. A concentrated wine. The palate is rich and full with fluffy mousse contributing appealing texture and the finish is clean, dry and balanced for drinkability. (Cork) Points: 95/100
