2008 Gosset Celebris Rose Extra Brut, Champagne, France (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES: This cuvee is designed to appeal to the most discerning palate and, more generally, anyone looking for a touch of romance in their apéritif. Its freshness, with notes of red fruit (strawberry, raspberry, and redcurrant), provides a smooth, comfortable sensation that lingers with hints of pink grapefruit. This champagne can be served as an accompaniment to carefully chosen dishes such as salmon, a strawberry and tomato gazpacho with basil, or pan-fried scampi. TASTING NTOES: This rich Champagne is full of ripe red fruits balanced by red currants, green apples and a shot of citrus. The full texture only just shows maturity, but also is elegant. It is now ready to drink.  - Wine Enthusiast, 94 pts.
