A graceful Champagne, with a chalky underpinning and lacy texture supporting ripe strawberry and raspberry fruit, star anise, apple blossom and salted almond notes. Lightly juicy and fresh through to the lingering finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Disgorged March 2023. Drink now through 2028. 13,000 cases made, 200 cases imported.

The latest rendition of the NV Brut Rosé Royale Réserve is based on the 2019 vintage and was disgorged in March 2023 with nine grams per liter. Revealing a fresh, fruity bouquet with aromas of strawberries, rose petals, menthol and pastry, it’s medium to full-bodied, vinous and generous with a gourmand mid-palate and a long, saline finish.

A bright pink hue, the NV Champagne Royal Reserve Brut Rosé is also based on the 2019 vintage, with all the red wine in the blend coming from the Clos des Goisses, with 7.5% red wine, 27% reserve wine. Made from 69% Pinot Noir, 29% Chardonnay, and a splash of Meunier, it reveals a perfume of fresh rose petals, apricots, and croissants. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with juicy fruit, a pillowy mousse, and a silky texture. It has a fine tannin structure, with notes of fresh raspberry fruit throughout as well as a hint of tangerine and delicate, sweet salinity. It retains good balance and freshness with just a hint of warmth on the finish. This is a seductive rosé offering a lot of pleasure. Drink 2023-2033. Disgorged in March 2023, with the addition of 9 grams per liter dosage.
