(NV Pierre Péters Rosé for Albane Brut) ($77.00) All ’08, and again a gob-smack of sheer prettiness on the nose; disgorged 9/10, and oh man this is absurdly great Rosé, perfectly mingling the sweetest face of Meunier with the sleek silky Chardonnay – which is focused on Mesnil, especially the climat Le Musette, which ripens early and gives small berries with less acidity, in part due to court-noué; it got the little extra slip of dosage I requested last year, and now all it does is ignite the dopey-grin reflex. “The goal is a real Rosé, not a Blanc de Blancs with pink color,” says Rodolphe. The Chardonnay is blended with macerated Meunier – there’s no PN in this wine.
