Tasting note
An ethereal, pale pink, with delicate, finely beaded mousse and generous aromas of fresh brioche, raspberry, and soft, gentle flavours of red cane fruit. A crisp, underlying acidity provides a thrilling zest and intensity to the flavours and the long, persistent flavours of red apple and first-pick strawberries.
Viticulture
In 2015, our vineyard team's site selection and dedication paid off. Despite a cooler summer, we achieved super-ripe Pinots with rich flavours, balanced acidity, and deep colours. Our Chardonnay thrived too, thanks to our well-chosen vineyard sites.
Vinification
Kings Cuvée Rosé blends Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. 100% barrel fermented, aged seven months in old oak for softness and creaminess. Top six barrels chosen from 200 after taste tests. 1% Pinot Noir Précoce added pre-tirage for colour, body, flavour. Aged six years in bottle, disgorged with 8g/L dosage for depth and complexity.
Food Match
Spiced duck, lobster, salmon, guinea fowl.
