Brut Classic Rosé

This delicious rosé wine is produced from the same blend as the Brut Classic with the addition of 12% red wine from grand cru Bouzy in the Montagne de Reims.  There is a very pleasant cherry/currant red fruit character with a hint of licorice and violets. The texture is rich and soft, yet it is still very crisp with a lingering finish.  

About House of Nobel Champagne:

The House of Nobel is the exciting new Champagne project spearheaded by Dr. Philip Alexander Nobel, scion of the illustrious Nobel family.  He and his team have crafted this superb champagne in homage to “the spirit within”.  Following in the tradition of recognizing the very best, he has carefully selected this wine for the enjoyment of all.

The inaugural release of the House of Nobel has been produced in collaboration with Champagne Alfred Gratien, founded in 1864.  The firm is currently directed by Olivier Dupré, and Nicolas Jaeger is the fourth generation of the same family to be winemaker at Gratien.  He learned by working alongside his father, who is still active in maintaining links to the growers, most of whom are located near the winery in Epernay. 

This partner was chosen for the Nobel collaboration because of the exceptional purity, complexity and concentration of the wines produced.  These are champagnes of great distinction, certainly delicious on their own but also perfectly suited to savoring throughout the courses of the finest meal.  Their elaboration marries the best of time-honored tradition with state-of-the-art techniques and winemaking knowledge.  The base wines are all fermented in cask, and spend six months on the lees before the assemblage.  The malolactic fermentation is avoided, and the wines are consistently aged much longer than the industry average.
