The 2008 Champagne Rare Rosé is straight-up sensational. Only the second time they’ve produced this cuvée, it offers a deep, full-bodied, powerful yet chiseled and laser-focused style carrying loads of wild strawberry fruit as well as notes of orange blossom, spice, and crushed rocks. Backward, austere, yet simply loaded with potential, it needs a solid 4-5 years of bottle age and will drink brilliantly for two decades or more.

Don't hurry over this. Rosé Champagne is often regarded as a charm incarnate, well-rounded, as pretty on the palate as it is to the eye. This pale salmon rosé is certainly appealing to look at, as its mousse is steady as you like; but it's when you take time to engage with its bready, quietly fragrant scents and the shaping, architectural breadth of its flavours that you'll discover the quality of this very gastronomic, vinous and rewardingly understated wine. The edge and cut of the vintage plays a key role in shaping and structuring the slow, teasing roll of its pomelo and tangerine-peel fruits. A pink Champagne for fine-wine lovers.

A vibrant Champagne, ballet-slipper pink in color, featuring intense flavors of nectarine, ripe raspberry, grilled nut, espresso and graphite, with a touch of dried sage, all riding the finely detailed mousse. Like a ballerina, this offers power in a graceful form. A beautiful skein of spice unravels on the lasting finish. Drink now through 2033. 2,000 cases made, 200 cases imported.
