Rosé Majeur, with its lovely copper glint and lightcherry core is enhanced by a beautiful necklace of fine and long-lasting bubbles. On the nose, the wine reveals a seductive bouquet of red fruits: strawberries, raspberries and a hint of cassis enhanced by the freshness and refinement the high proportion of Chardonnay delivers. On the palate, Rosé Majeur is vinous and fleshy. It possesses a nice balance between the strength of the tannins and the delicacy of Chardonnay, leading to a very generous finish.

"Light-weight and delicate, yet with a dry profile framing strawberry, cherry and red currant flavors. There's grip, but also a harmony that continues into the lingering finish. Drink now through 2011. 8,330 cases made." –BS - Wine Spectator. "The very high proportion of Chardonnay together with the ageing process, creates a champagne of remarkable finesse and elegance.
