Wine:

With beautiful elegance and style, the 2013 Rosé Extra-Brut Grand Vintage Rosé Champagne plays with nuanced and well-rounded flavors at this stage. Macerated red fruits, notes of candied oranges, a subtle evolution on spices and cinnamon take place in a softened frame, with a delicate foam and a beautiful tasty length. This is a typical Bouzy pinot noir, with an undeniable wild strawberry accent! Rated 92/100 RVF.
