Larmandier-Bernier Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut - 2009 Base NV

Vivid raspberry, red cherry and dried herb aromas with a quiet thread of spice running underneath. On the palate, fruit from 40+ year-old Vertus vines delivers real concentration and grip, fine, persistent bead carrying a precise, lingering finish. Quieter than past vintages but no less serious for it. Drink now through the next few years as the structure slowly unfolds.
