Tasting Notes
-
With a beautiful effervescence — a string of fine bubbles — this champagne is very balanced. The mouth is dominated not only by strawberry and raspberry, but also grapefruit and lemon.
“I wanted to play on the subtle balance between sweetness and acidity. I was looking for a wine to pair with desserts typical of my childhood: crepes Suzette, orange blossom cake, a pear tart with cinnamon…” Jean-Pierre Mareigner, Cellarmaster
Suggested Serving Temperatures: Between 8 C and 10 C (46 F and 50 F)
Suggested Pairings: The Petite Douceur Rosé’s subtle balance between sweetness and acidity allows many pairings with desserts such as Crepes Suzette, orange blossom cakes, pear tarts with cinnamon, as well as macaroons and fruit sorbets. This is a wine to share on all occasions.
