The Very First Release of Rosé from the Brut Nature Collaboration with Phillipe Starck! Kicking off with 2012!

Description

The 2012 Brut Nature Rosé is rich, explosive and pulsing with energy. Chef de Caves Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon adds an infusion of 25% cold soaked Pinot Noir into the same base wine as the 2012 Brut Nature, an approach that works beautifully in bringing out the energy and focus that make Champagnes from Cumières so distinctive. Even with all of its power, the 2012 is delicate, airy and full of nuance. This is such a gorgeous wine. I would prefer to drink it on the younger side.

Why is this Wine so Yummy?

Winemaker Notes

Orange hue with salmon pink tints. Patient, even effervescence. Spicy aromas of Sichuan pepper combined with sappy and floral notes of violet and gentian. Toast and mocha on the nose resulting in an elegant and concentrated bouquet. After aeration, intense fruity notes start to emerge along with concentrated notes of wild raspberries. The palate is fruity. The Pinot noir offers an intense fruitiness and a tight and juicy structure complemented by ripe, almost sweet tannins. The fruit and texture display remarkable depth and are starting to show a typical “Pinot” character.

Grapes

The grapes are grown exclusively in the Coteaux de Cumières. A small proportion of the domaine’s Pinot noirs are harvested separately and undergo a few days’ cold “infusion” without alcohol fermentation before being incorporated into the Brut Nature Blanc juices. Zero dosage.

Vinification & Maturation

15% of the wine is vinified in oak casks. Brut Nature 2012 is aged for 5 years in the cellars and left for a minimum of 6 months after disgorging to attain the perfect maturity. No dosage.

 

Vintage Notes

The 2012 vintage gave us the very best material: juicy, concentrated grapes with unusual levels of maturity resulting in rich, full-bodied wines worthy of the greatest vintages in Champagne.

2012 is a solar, intense and generous year, that gave us high quality with grapes of remarkable strength and character, and even more vibrant and generous Pinot Noirs. This year has therefore shown itself to be one of the greatest in history and has given us two wines, a white and a rosé. — Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Cellar Master

Only the 3rd release of this exception Brut Nature Collaboration with Phillipe Starck & it's a cracker! When you have no sugar in the Liqueur d'Expedition, no sugar added to the wine, there is no-where to hide. The fruit quality and winemaking must be impeccable. The 3rd collaboration wine holds its own comfortably. The core of fruit powers through, pith and citrus rind float across your palate. Fresh with hints of strawberries, development comes through in the form of toasty brioche and hints o

Pinot Noir | Vallée de la Marne, Champagne

Such a beautiful Rosé. If finding a good wine is hard, finding tasty Rosé Champagne is a true mission. There are so many tricked up hard angular wines. Fabrice has got it all going on here. Rosé made by allowing fruit skin contact rather than dosing a white wine with some Red really does appear to offer a much more refined result. This one has lovely fresh, yet developed, red fruits, a little savoury edge and so much more going on. The halmark Pouillon harmony and energy. Just that very sligh

The Fabrice Session 🎧 & 🎥 Inside!
A divine, powerful, Blanc de Blanc from Aÿ, typically a Pinot village. Superb poise, incredible mouthfeel, long and fine. Incredible complexity, this builds in a big glass revealing layer after layer of fruit, patisserie notes, lightly toasted almond, and gentle, refined oxidative hints. This is benchmark gear. It's hard to believe it's only 12% alcohol such is the depth and length of flavour. The Méthod Fabrice Pouillon & 5 years on lees offers us up a seamless wine with wonderful shape,

JM Sélèque Solessence Nature (2015) NV

Champagne | France, Champagne

Brut Nature wines by default have nothing to hide behind so the fruit has to do the talking ... JM's is positively SHOUTING! Excellent purity. Singular, refined. Superb love the line and length with excellent harmony. Pithy, layered, red berries. Excellent secondary development. Although the call is that this is the standard Solessence with no dose, it clearly is not. For a start it's the base vintage is 4 years older, & it has been disgorged for almost 2 years. I can't understate just how m
