The Champagne
Definitively a FOUFOU favorite!
This fruity sparkling rosé champagne delights the palate with delicate spice and exquisite aromas of a medley of red fruits and brioche. A pleasant surprise, composed of 50% Chardonnay, 44% Pinot Noir and 6% Meunier from the 2009 and 2008 vintages, biodynamically produced and aged in wooden barrels. Disgorged in August 2015 with 6 grams of dosage. Like almost all Tarlant Champagnes, the Rosé has a very long maturation period for a non-vintage champagne. A characteristic that becomes immediately evident both on the first nose and on the tongue. Soft and wonderfully harmonious – even in fragrance.
Strawberry not only defines the color but also the initial aromatic prelude. Strawberry compote blends with raspberries, red apple, cranberry and pomelo, with a backdrop of sweetish yeast dough. Floating above this medley, a hint of white flowers and spices.
Tasting Note
- Strawberry color in the glass, with fine perlage.
- On the nose a slight sweetness with a coherent, lush and inviting aroma of red fruits. Strawberry, raspberry, mingled with apple and cranberry. A real fruit surprise!
- Juicy and full-bodied on the palate, it evokes memories of the first bite of a pomelo. At once the silky notes of yeast mark their spot, lending the champagne its elegance and creaminess.
Pair with
- Perfect apertif.
- Superb companion to poultry dishes with fruity sauces.
- Pairs equally well with light vegetarian dishes and fruit desserts.
