Alfred Gratien Classic Rosé NV Review

Alfred Gratien is a Champagne house that has been at it since the mid-nineteenth century. Among its almost dozen cuvees, this is the only rosé — and it really does stand out. Immediately on the nose, you notice something slightly different in an almost sherry-like aroma with the addition of some very ripe strawberry and pastry dough notes just coming to room temp. All of this transfers to the palate with an added note of tartness, along with the active bubbles. A very cheese plate-friendly wine.
