This seems drier than its stablemate the famous Yellow Label and is the better for it. There is an urgent freshness here driven by red currants and tight plum skin flavors. It is lively but full in the mouth and shows just the right bottle age.
The impression here is elegant overall but there's a firm backbone of acidity that's finely meshed with the delicate range of flavors including white raspberry spiced plum biscuit pink grapefruit zest and a base note of smoky minerality.
The NV Brut Rose is a straightforward, accessible wine to enjoy over the next year or two. With a little additional refinement in the tannins, this bottling might merit a slightly higher score. This is Lot 14009917, disgorged between December, 2006 and January, 2007. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010.
