This rosé sparkling wine beguiles the taster first of all with its appearance, an utterly inimitable peony pink hue. Then the eye is enchanted by a slender but dense bead of irrepressible pin-point bubbles that presage the wine’s appreciable crispness. The nose is intensely redolent of delicate notes of rose petals, lime blossoms, and wild berry. The mousse expands with beautiful proportion in the mouth, giving the palate its crisp fruit nuances and a sense of exquisite balance.
