2019 Late Disgorged Brut Rosé

Since 2005 we have produced this beautiful, aged rosé in very limited quantities. Our devoted “bubble heads” patiently wait for its release each year. The beauty of our methóde traditionnelle wines is that the longer they age, the more harmonious and elegant they become. This rosé, from the 2019 vintage, is labeled as “Late Disgorged” because it is held back for an additional two years for a total of five years resting on the lees (aka “sur lie”). The lovely apricot color of this special wine is the result of leaving a small portion of the Pinot Noir in contact with the skins. Many rosés are made by the addition of Pinot Noir wine being added to a white wine base, but we choose to use the skin contact method that allows us to maintain our signature seamless and silky texture.

Tasting Notes

A captivating perfume of peaches, rose petal, mandarin, and dried sage leads to lustrous layers of apricots, honeycomb, persimmons, and peach cobbler with a hint of toasted macadamia nut on the silky, lingering finish. Rich and expansive while delicate and poised, it showcases its pedigree and patient cellaring, sip after beautiful sip.

Food Pairings

This is a serious, aged rosé for the bubbly aficionado. We suggest enjoying this wine with oven-roasted pork loin or salmon dishes over the holidays. For a truly decadent treat, our Associate Winemaker, Michaella, recommends pairing with seasonal grilled figs accompanied by honey and a mild blue cheese.
