Barnaut Authentique Brut Rosé Grand Cru Champagne NV Review
This rich rosé is made with 90 percent Pinot Noir and 10 percent Chardonnay sourced from Barnaut’s parcels in Bouzy. Produced in the saignée method, the wine is a deep magenta color and offers concentrated fruit flavors. It’s delightfully aromatic on the nose with notes of rose candy, tomato leaf, and white peaches. The palate has hints of syrupy amarena cherries, without being sweet or cloying, and a flinty minerality.
