Fallet Dart Rosé Champagne Anthocyane NV

"The Fallet family have been producing exceptional Champagnes for decades and I can see [and taste] why. This wine has a beautiful bouquet and palate with scents of delicate rose and white strawberry, cherry and spice, then a core of autolysis suggesting some fresh baked goods then red apple skin and apricot. The mousse is light and refreshing, fine and chalky, the flavours of red fruits intensity on the palate yet still have a delicacy about them. Dry on the finish with a crispness and finesse, delicacy and charm. Best drinking, well - as soon as possible - its very good, from day of purchase through 2030."

"With its honest radiant colour, this wine has an attractive tint of pink coral. Its effervescence is subtle, fed by a chain of numerous tiny bubbles.The nose is wonderfully fresh and flowery with a fruity bouquet recalling citrus fruits and red berries, which develops into spicy notes. On the palate the savours are balanced between the smell and the taste. The red berries with hints of wild strawberries are underlined by blood oranges and spices like saffron. The finale in the mouth is long and expressive. — Anthocyanes are the pigments responsible for the pinkish red or even bluish colour of some fruits. Grapes with black skins, which is the case of both Pinot noir and Meunier, have a high concentration of anthocyanes. Due to being macerated for several days, the bluish skins gently transfer their colour to the juice. All sorts of different hues of red and pink are obtained through this method as are the fruit and spicy essences. Making the cuvée ”Rosé Anthocyane” has given Adrien and Paul a chance to express their creative spirit by making a rosé champagne which is both refined and characteristic of their new range. Light and airy, this champagne goes as well as with an appetizer than with a dish, such as dried or smoky ham and basil’ wraps, cherry tomatoes and ricotta’ bruschettas, but also with grilled red meat in summer time. In dessert, this cuvée will easily match with citruses and red berries such as red and black currant’ macaroons, citruses soberts, a strawberry charlotte or a raspberry and lime’ crumble."
