Champagne Maison P.Gimonnet Rosé de Blancs. This is the first Rose from Champagne Pierre Gimonnet which is produced using 12% of Pinot Noir from Bouzy; the remaining 88% is a blend of Chardonnay grapes from 4 Grand Cru and 1 Premier Cru vineyards.

Wine type: champagne - Rosè de Blancs - Cuis 1er Cru Cote des Blancs.

Vintage and alcohol content: 12,5°

Region: Champagne Cotes des Blancs - France.

Grape/blend: 88% Chardonnay from Premier Cru (25%) and Grand Cru (63%), 12% Pinot Noir de Bouzy Grand Cru.

Type soil: the soil is poor and rocky, the temperature is ideal in summer (partly due to the micro-climate created by the local wind, the Ora del Garda): vines here still co-exist alongside olive groves.The valley is more open here and the excellent sun exposure allows the grapes to ripen to perfection.

Colour: pale salmon pink with a very fine mousse.

Aroma: delicate red berry flavours with a core of minerality.

Tasting notes: a finely-textured palate and a backbone of crisp acidity. Very pure, linear and elegant.

Serving suggestions: a superb match for langoustines and other shellfish.
