Champagne Eric Taillet Luminosi’T Brut Rosé NV Review
Winemaker Eric Taillet is the fourth generation to work his family estate in Champagne’s Marne Valley. Taillet is passionate about Pinot Meunier — which is often considered the black sheep of Champagne’s big-three grapes — working to show its potential as a single varietal wine. As such, the Luminosi’T Brut Rosé is made with 100 percent Pinot Meunier (99 percent direct press and 1 percent red wine) and is aged on the lees for 24 months before disgorgement. It’s lively with notes of raspberries, strawberry tops, and fresh whipped cream. Though there’s great concentration of fruit, the palate is focused, with firm bubbles and a chalky minerality.
