Tasting Notes

The wine has a beautiful color that oscillates between salmon pink and onion skins. The bouquet is very fine and vinous, displaying delicate fruit along with floral and fascinating herbal aromas (oregano, basil). Very elegant and perfectly round on the palate, this is a highly delicate and quite truly vinous Rosé with a long, well-structured, pure and slightly salty finish.

 

The NV Rosé Rose Dame-Jane is light and airy in the glass. Crushed flowers, sweet crushed berries, white pepper and mint are all beautifully lifted. Translucent and gracious, the Dame-Jane is quite a departure for a house that was previously known for rich, opulent Champagnes. The Dame-Jane is done with an 'Oeil de Perdrix' base in which Pinot is given a short time on the skins for added color and structure. Right before bottling, touches of Chardonnay and still Pinot are added to fine-tune the blend. The Dame-Jane is aged entirely in sandstone terracotta, an approach that works beautifully. This release is based on 2017, with 40% reserve wines. 93/100 Points, Vinous (March 2021)
