Sale!Champagne Pommery Brut Grand Cru Royal Millesime 2008 has is crystalline, of a discreet gold with green reflections. The nose presents the patina of the Pommery vintages: elegance, minerality, freshness. First of all intense floral notes reach us: the peony floats around the hawthorn. Maturity is expressed by fruity notes of pear and fresh apricot. The great Pinot Noir present themselves with notes of crushed fresh strawberries. On the palate, the tasting is floating, with a great uprightness. A mineral structure fills the palate from the attack to the finish like a spine. Notes of acacia honey and Mirabelle underline the central element of the tasting. The finish is punctuated by a nice sweetness, marked by flavours of blood orange.

Sale!This rosé is a faithful variation of classic Pommery Brut Royal created through the assembly of a red wine made with this mind, and different wines vinified in white, within a great proportion of chardonnay. Delicate pale pink with slightly salmon tones. Fine and persistent bubbles. Small red berries suggesting roundness and softness enhanced by a fine freshness in a world of distinction. Very subtle rosé character: supple and finely robust with and appealing freshness and liveliness.

Sale!Taittinger Prestige Rosé immediately stands out for its intense, shimmering hue whose secret lies in the fact that it is a blend, which is more complex and costly to produce. A quantity of still red wine (15%) produced from the best Pinot Noirs from Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys is in fact added to the final blend, to give this cuvée its unmistakable colour and vibrant intensity on the palate.The high proportion of Chardonnay (30%) that completes the blend brings the elegance and delicacy that underpinTaittinger’s signature style. The intense and brilliant body is bright pink in colour.The bubbles are fine, and the mousse persistent.The full nose, wonderfully expressive, is both fresh and young. It gives off aromas of red fruits (freshly crushed wild raspberry, cherry, blackcurrant). On the palate, this wine strikes a fine balance of a velvet texture and full body taste.The flavours are reminiscent of fresh, crisp red fruits. The palate can be summed up in four words: lively, fruity, fresh and elegant, as only a rosé blend can be. Taittinger Prestige Rosé can be enjoyed both early on and at the end of an evening. Deliciously fragranced for an aperitif, it is also a subtle accompaniment to fruit desserts, including fruit tart, fruit salad and red fruit crumble.

Sale!The terroir and its micro-crus express their nuances in vintage after vintage. The fresh, delicate aromas of Cabernet Franc are balanced by the voluptuous concentration of the old Merlot vines along with a lingering touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, in wines of elegant power.

A deep golden yellow wine, Château Suduiraut 2018 unveils a subtle bouquet. Very fruity at first, with notes of ripe cherry plums and yellow peach, it evolves into hints of candied fruits, vanilla, and spices. The body is unctuous with an ample and fresh development in the mouth. There are suggestions of yellow fruit and vanilla. The finish is unctuous, spicy, and admirably long. The 2018 vintage confirms the excellent hold, fruitiness, and elegance of this wine.
