The Cuvée Royale Réserve Rosé is made from grapes from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards located in Ay and Mareuil-sur-Ay. The blend includes approximately 20-30% reserve wines aged in wooden barrels using the solera method. Addition of still red wine from Pinot Noir vineyards in Mareuil-sur-Ay (approx. 7-8%). Matured for three years on the lees before disgorgement. Moderate dosage of 9 g/l. A Rosé of great aromatic complexity with a very fine fruity bouquet.

Salmon pink color, with coppery reflections. The nose reveals intense notes of wild berries, cherry, and strawberry, with lovely hints of grapefruit and lemon. On the palate, it opens elegantly, with a generous body and ample sip, developing with great freshness. Long, fruity finish. Harmonic.

Pairs wonderfully with grilled fish, ham, or white meats, such as veal and lamb. Excellent as an aperitif and also with fruit-based desserts.
