Sensations
To the eye: A bright rosé with subtle golden hues.
To the nose: The nobility of red berries: hints of red currant, cherry and wild strawberry; a spicy touch, not unlike Special Cuvée.
On the palate: A subtle combination of structure, length and vivacity, with a tannic finish due to the adjunction of red wine; bubbles as fine as velvet; flavours of wild berries.
Food pairings
Crayfish, lobster, one-side cooked salmon.
Japanese cuisine or not-so-spicy Asian cuisine.
Fruit based dessert: fruit soup, strawberry tart, raspberries.

History
The Bollinger House also makes magnificent red wines, such as the legendary Côte aux Enfants, in Aÿ.
Since Bollinger Rosé was created in 2008, the Poirier Saint-Pierre and Montboeuf plots, in Verzenay, are worked in the same style as the Côte aux Enfants plot to complete the production...
Because only great wines make great champagnes.
