Jean-Noel Haton Cuvee Brut Rose, Champagne

Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Pinot NoirA full and deep youthful pink colour with a trace of purple in the tint, signalling a younger rosé style. Fragrant rose-petal aroma, some pinoty smokiness and a hint of forest-floor with an echo of mushroom. The palate is full and round and bold, a tickle of sweetness early morphs into a rich middle and then there's a cleaner, drier finish. A full flavoured, youthful, fruit-driven style of pink Champagne.
