Gaston Chiquet Premier Cru Brut Rose, Champagne, France NV Germany in the Loire Valley

in the Loire Valley

A vein of focused acidity runs through an otherwise creamy texture

generous wines in the range today

counterbalanced by exuberant blackberry and strawberry notes on the lightly spiced finish

This is always among my favorite País from Chile

Gaston Chiquet Premier Cru Brut Rose, Champagne, France NV Germany in the Loire ValleyThe NV Brut Ros (2020 base) is stellar. Lifted floral and savory accents meld into a core of punchy red toned fruit. Cranberry, white pepper, mint, crushed rocks and blood orange build into the nervy, resonant finish. The Ros is light in color and finessed, but also has tons of richness, much of that coming from the 18% still Pinot in the blend. Disgorged: March, 2022. 92 Pts Vinous
