Disgorged November 2016, Tasted in Champagne
28% chardonnay, 72% pinot; a blend of 14 crus; chardonnay mainly from Avize, Cramant and Oger; pinot mainly from Aÿ and Verzenay; 5% still red wine from La Côte aux Enfants; 92% grand cru, 8% premier cru; entirely fermented and matured in oak barrels; aged under natural cork 8.5 years on lees; 7g/L dosage
The 2007 vintage was a challenging one in which to produce great red wine in Champagne, and this result is testimony both to the standards of La Côte aux Enfants and the expertise of the house in crafting red wine for rosé. LGA Rosé is LGA with a tiny inclusion of red wine from the same vintage. The effect is profound, beckoning from its radiant, medium copper-salmon gown with exuberant, flamboyant and extroverted appeal. Its purity of red cherry fruits and violet fragrance has begun to dim as its secondary universe steps to the fore in great complexity of golden fruit cake, fruit mince spice, butter, even hints of toasted coconut and vanilla custard. The fine tannin grip of its youth has faded into a silky smooth, creamy structure, laced with fine chalk minerality, lingering long and seamless with refined, understated red cherry purity.
