Blanc de Roses 2018 Champagne Foret-Ramillon

Blanc de Rose 2018

色はロゼ、味わいは白のシャンパーニュ。

ムニエとシャルドネを半々で用いた、色調はロゼでありながら味わいは白を思わせるシャンパーニュです。淡いサーモンピンクに繊細なブロンズの輝きが差し、細やかな泡が長く続きます。赤いベリーや白桃に、アーモンドや焼き菓子のニュアンスが混ざり合う複雑でエレガントな香り。フレッシュな酸とわずかなミネラル感に赤い果実の甘みが優しく溶け込み、クリーンな余韻が長く残ります。鴨のローストや魚介のカルパッチョと。

Tasting note

The color is pale salmon pink with a delicate bronze sheen. The bubbles are fine and long-lasting, dancing gracefully in the glass. The aroma is complex and elegant, blending red berries, white peach, and subtle hints of almond and baked goods. On the palate, fresh acidity and a slight minerality spread in a balanced way, and the sweetness of red fruits gently blends in. The finish is clean and pleasant, with a long lingering aftertaste.
