Perrier-Jouet Blason Rose
Rosé
from Champagne, France
winemaker's notes:
The color is medium salmon with copper highlights.
Aromas of ripe strawberry and bright red raspberry are dominant, with notes of light spice hinting at Hawaiian pink ginger, Mandarin orange, and honey with a touch of earthiness.
On the palate, the wine shows freshly crushed strawberries with citrus and earth notes on the very long, persistent finish.
This rose pairs perfectly with fresh shellfish or smoked salmon, also an ideal pairing with roasted pheasant breast, pan-fried venison filets with fresh truffles, and wild pork.
critical acclaim:
"Succulent strawberry flavors give this a round, supple richness. The finish is perfumed with red fruit, ending bright and sweet without any candied character. Mouthwatering and complete, this is a delicious rose to serve with shrimp tempura."

"Quite firm, bright and lively, with an airy mousse, this shows subtle flavors of ripe raspberry, wild strawberry and white peach, with a hint of pastry."

Wine Spectator
"Delicate salmon pink in color, this light, fresh rose shines with its fresh red berry flavors, a delicate style initally, then opening to give raspberry and crisp red apples. Light enough for aperitif, but will also work with food."
