2013 Larmandier-Bernier Champagne Premier Cru Rosé de Maturation
Community Tasting Note
Jan J Likes this wine:
Saturday, January 23, 2021 - Tasted as part of an online masterclass with Pierre Larmandier. Base 2013, deg. June 2018, 3 g/L dosage. An experiment on the aging capability of the Rose de Saignee NV, this is the same base, with longer elevage in the barrel and four years in the bottle during secondary fermentation. Lighter, clearly, older color, verging towards the copper, almost golden. Like tasting the Terre de Vertus 1er after the Longitude, this is a clear step-up - deeper, more serious, more complex. Hard to describe. The nose is sensual, perfumed, evolved. There is more creaminess, more depth, evolving notes, nuttiness, wildness, elegance, all at once. Everything is dialed up and better integrated. Kudos.

It was your passion, together with all the grower champagne buzz on WB, that got me started on the farmer fizz.
