Taste: On the palate, the wine is crisp and lively, offering flavours of red berries such as strawberry and cranberry, balanced by a bright citrus acidity. The mousse is fine and creamy, adding a smooth texture, while a slight minerality provides depth and complexity.

Finish: The finish is long and refreshing, with lingering notes of red fruit and a subtle hint of toasted brioche, leaving a crisp and elegant aftertaste.

Food pairing: This Brut Rosé pairs beautifully with light fare such as smoked salmon, fresh oysters, or tuna tartare, where its acidity and bubbles cut through the richness. It also works wonderfully with charcuterie, soft cheeses, or summer salads, making it a versatile choice for both appetizers and lighter main courses.
