91 Antonio Galloni - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The NV Brut Rose Premier Cru is a very pretty wine laced with freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, spices and licorice. Understated and classy from start to finish, it can be enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with food. The pure, precise finish is especially of note. This is Lot # L.0001. Disgorged May 11, 2011. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014." (11/11)

"Bright orange-pink. Aromas of redcurrant and cherry, with citrus and spice notes adding lift. Juicy and focused on entry, then chewy and firm in the middle, with very good depth to its spicy red fruit flavors. A yeasty quality comes up with air and adds depth to the long, sappy, linear finish. This Champagne would work well with light or rich foods, or by itself." (12/11)

Product Description:

WINE:
"Grapes are crushed on a traditional, wooden press, parcel by parcel. The must rests for 12-24 hours to allow the juice to settle. The alcoholic fermentation lasts from 8-10 days and the wines go through malolactic fermentation to soften their acidity. The blend of grapes changes every year for every wine, with consideration given to the conditions presented by the vintage, the terroir, and the house style."

"The non-vintage wines are a blend of all three grape varietals permitted in Champagne: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, but the exact breakdown of each is a house secret. Secondary fermentation takes place in bottle for 6-8 weeks. The bottles are riddled in pupitres and are adjusted a quarter turn at a time for 6 weeks. The bottles are disgorged manually." -Importer
