"Dominated by Pinot Noir, this seductive cuvée offers an expressive, beautifully fruity nose of red fruits with floral notes. On the palate, it's elegant, refreshing and very tasty right through to the finish. (Les Meilleurs Vins de France - Gault Millau). With a lovely Pinot Noble fragrance on the nose, this is a tender, racy Champagne with delicious fruitiness. A bottle made for the table, waiting to be discovered!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2015 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)

Domaine rated (2015 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the wine:

Red fruit on the nose and palate, with a benevolent flow.

About the domain :

This small Bouzy-based company produces only grand cru champagnes, apart from the rosé, which is still a premier cru! Of course, most of our supplies come from Bouzy, with additional chardonnays from Avize and Cramant.

About the wine:

Domaine founded in 1907 and run since 1992 by Marie-Thérèse Bonnaire: 6ha between Bouzy, grand cru de noirs, and Chouilly, grand cru de blancs. The brand pays tribute to the grandfather, and the cuvées are produced by Jean-Louis Bonnaire, the winemaker's husband, who also harvests in Cramant. (RM)
Pinot noir dominates (80%, complemented by Chardonnay) in this elegant rosé blend, with its scents of candied fruit and orange zest, both rich and fresh on the palate.
