Rosé Mari Brut Cap Classique NV

This Cap Classique displays captivating light coral pink reflections with a slight copperish hue, beautifully showcasing its Pinot Noir origins. On the nose, delicate aromas of wild strawberry, pomegranate, watermelon, and red apple skin intermingle, creating an enticing bouquet. The palate is lively and fresh, enhanced by very fine and delicate bubbles that contribute to a refined mouthfeel. Flavours of red currant, sweet-and-sour cherry, and raspberry dominate, alongside tart berry nuances, offering a harmonious balance of fruit and acidity. The wine is elegant and red fruit-driven, with minimal yeast or brioche characteristics, making it a pure expression of its fruit. It finishes with good length, leaving a clean and refreshing aftertaste.

This elegant Cap Classique, with its fresh red fruit character and fine bubbles, pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes:

• Smoked salmon or trout
• Sushi and sashimi
• Lightly spiced Asian dishes like Thai shrimp salad, Vietnamese spring rolls, or dim sum
• A light salad with chicken or turkey, fresh greens, berries, nuts, and a vinaigrette
• Prosciutto and melon
• Prawn cocktail
• Light, fruity desserts like a raspberry tart, strawberry shortcake, or mixed berry pavlova
