Rosé champagne tasting

Tasting for the Brussels section of the Swedish wine tasting association Munskänkarna.

• NV Paul Bara Champagne Grand Cru Grand Rosé 88 Points

  France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru

  Light red colour, nice acidity proving the 15-25% chardonnay in this assemblage. Elegant red berries with a nice acidity backbone. Some chocolate mintyness, gives a young impression. Should develop further and was of course the least flirty in the flight with 3 other 100% PN rosés.

  From magnum. Salmon colour, unusualy small bubbles and a very creamy mousse. Perfectly balanced at this point with the red berry aromas, refreshing acidity and mousse. "A point"!

  Light red colour. Rather powerful rosé but with a nice acidity grip and cool red berries (strawberries), nice mousse and a creamy caramel-like fruit.

  Salmon colour, great depth and complexity. Red berries and a great Chardonnay backbone. with a certain over-all creaminess. Creamy mousse. Should improve further.

  France, Champagne

  Salmon colour. Stood out in the tasting with its´powerful gun powder minerality. Was voted best wine.
  I adore this minerality, also in a rosé. Plenty of everything including acidity so it would also be interesting to taste a more mature bottle.

  Deep Salmon colour.
  Heavy notes of ratafia and Pinot Noir sous-bois on the nose. A real heavy-weight. Long aftertast, good acidity, will probably improve.

• NV Bollinger Champagne Brut Rosé 90 Points

  France, Champagne

  Light red/salmon.
  Least impressive in this flight which I assume was due to too young a bottle. Bollinger should probably sit on them longer before release.
  Needs to develop but should be very good with another 3 years in bottle.
