Wine and BBQ Dinner (At home in leafy West London): Dark colour for a rosé champagne - read somewhere that this drinks more like a fizzy red burgundy and i get the point. Really delicious but I think a bit hard to fully comprehend - tasting it like a champagne isn't quite right, but neither is tasting it like a light red wine. Among the embarrassment of riches that we drank that night this is the one I'd love to be able to revisit in a more contemplative mode.

Disgorged February 2014, 3.5 g/L dosage. A distinctly herbal nose, this is a wine that is clearly on the leaner side of things. Good acidity and brightness but lacking body and richness. Refreshing enough, but a little too light overall on the palate. This is one of those champagnes that I'd hope to be able to call a rose if it were served in a black glass.

Bubbleclub--March 2022 (all wines served blind): Disgorged February 2014 with 3.5 grams of dosage. 55% PN / 45% Chard. The color on this is a darker ruby, reminiscent of the previous bottles we have opened. Red fruits, lightly jammy. I used to buy this wine but I just didn't believe the pricing was aligned well with what was under the cork. This is good but it never seems to wow me.

Jacquesson Night (Canard and Willamette Wine Storage, Portland OR): Nose: The nose was lifted, complex, and highly aromatic from the get go as it quickly fills up the glass with tones of red cherries, strawberries, rose petals, nougat, orange peels, meyer lemons, apples, bosc pears, toast, biscuits, baking spices, and warm pastry notes.
Taste: The feel is Medium bodied with racy, high acidity. The acidity still has some punch while the feel is elegant and poised with tones of red cherries, strawberries, rose petals, orange peels, apples, bosc pears, nougat, toast, baking spices, and warm pastry notes.
Overall: This was gorgeous immediately and it really kept blossoming with air. This was a great end to the tasting and yet another treat as I don't come across the Jacquesson Rose all too often.

Lovely orange/ red colour. Beautiful mousse. Was steely dry. Fruit was cherry, orange zest, but disconnect between what I was expecting from colour and amount of fruit it gave on the palate. Not a long finish.
