  • NV Ariston Aspasie Champagne Brut Rosé 92 Points

    France, Champagne

    (3/21/2015)

    Coral pink color with plentiful tiny bubbles and a fine bead with almond, cherry, candied strawberry, and hints of anise and dried rose aromas. On the palate, it approaches full-bodied, and is elegant, energetic, and dry with enticing cherry, strawberry, and hints of mandarin orange, and cranberry flavors. Lingering mineral accented flavors. Blend of 50% Pinot Noir, and 50% Pinot Meunier made from estate grown fruit in Brouillet. Color from 15% an old vine vinified Meunier. 12.5% Outstanding QPR at $35, especially for a Champagne that has been aged 5 years!
