Champagne Gallimard Père & Fils - Cuvée Brut Rosé

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2012

 (around 15 Euros per bottle) 

The Gallimard family, owner of a 10 hectares vineyard, has been growing wine at the Riceys for 5 generations. It makes its Champagne in the greatest respect of traditions and modern oenology.

The presentation of this Champagne is feminine and elegant.

Appearance :

 

  • Copper-pink colour
  • Plenty of fine bubbles
  • Nice and brilliant
  • Refined and persistent Cordon

Aroma :

 

  • Elegant and charming
  • The first nose discloses some citrus fleeting aroma, expression of the 10% of Chardonnay base wine judiciously blended with rosé wine obtained by four days of a thin layer maceration of the Pinots Noirs 
  • Development towards happy tinges of red fruits (strawberry, blackcurrant, raspberry, cherry,…) which reveal the Riceys noble  soil from which the 90% of Pinot Noir are mostly stemming from. 

Taste :


  • Frank attack quickly replaced by a sensuous and hearty roundness
  • The taster can find again the red fruits due to the maceration of the Pinots Noirs in full clusters before they are crushed into the tank. This enables the carbonic maceration phenomena in part of the berries.
  • Fresh, deliciously acidulous finale completed with delicate lemon tinges
  • Amazing length on the palate.

Didier Gallimard, the maker of this Cuvée Brut Rosé with an excellent value for money promises a Champagne with an original and touching personality.

Ideal for the aperitif or to be served with a dessert such as a strawberry or raspberry cake or why not with a sorbet.
