Vilmart - Champagner EMOTION Brut Rose 1er Cru 2015

JEB DUNNUCK: "A bright medium pink color, the 2015 Champagne 1er Cru Rose Emotion Brut Rose is 12% vin rouge with 8 grams per liter dosage. The nose is sunny and pretty with aromas of wild mixed berries, tangerine, biscotti, and powder. Medium to full-bodied, it has a more savory and pithy structure all the way through, although it’s well-managed, and it has a frothy mousse and a clean finish. A delicate saline note complements the wine, but it’s going to demand pairing and aging. Drink 2026-2040."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Cuvee Emotion 2015 Rose is a saignée rosé blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from 60-year-old vines. Pale pink with a consistent fine bead, it opens to crushed red bramble fruit, orange peel, vanilla bean and toast aromas that lead to a medium to full-bodied, savory palate with morello cherry and red currant fruit alongside an energized, vibrant acid line. It finishes long and savory with a kiss of sweetness and a little tannic grip. Disgorged February 2022 with eight grams per liter dosage."
