Champagne Jacques Selosse - Brut Rose

96 points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“An utterly electrifying wine, the NV Brut Rosé is simply drop dead gorgeous. The style is all about energy, delineation and minerality with this release, a blend of vintage 2004 and 2005 Chardonnay with the addition of still Pinot. This isn’t one of the more vinous versions of the Rosé, which actually helps to make it quite versatile. Selosse’s NV Rosé can be enjoyed before a meal but also has the tension to pair beautifully with food. The balance and overall sense of harmony are both dazzling.”
Nose: Explosive energy with vibrant red‑berry and wild‑strawberry aromas, lifted by delicate floral notes and underscored by a distinctive chalky minerality.
Palate: Medium‑bodied yet weightless, featuring a fine, aerated mousse that carries bright cranberry and citrus highlights across a backbone of crisp acidity and razor‑sharp delineation. 
Finish: Long, harmonious and tensioned—remarkably versatile for both pre‑meal sipping and pairing with a range of dishes, thanks to its vibrant structure and pure mineral drive. 
Serve very chilled (8–10 °C), ideal as an elegant aperitif or alongside seafood canapés and light cheeses.
