La Cave TwilEstimated delivery between 2 and Dec 4,
Cuvée brut rosé, a 100% rosé version of the alfred gratien house style! It reveals a salmon color with light violet highlights and very fine effervescence. The nose is intense and fruity, oscillating between fresh red fruit, pink grapefruit and mineral sensations. The woodiness is not apparent, but can be guessed. The palate is strongly fruit-driven, with acidity and liveliness from the attack to the finish. The finish is powerful, vinous and long, with a slight salinity and a hint of astringency. Since 1864, maison alfred gratien in epernay has been producing exceptional champagnes with the utmost respect for tradition and craftsmanship, handed down from generation to generation by the jaeger family, cellar masters from father to son for over 100 years. In addition to a rigorous selection of grapes and the choice of ageing in small 228-liter oak barrels, the cuvées of the alfred gratien champagne house do not undergo malolactic fermentation. This choice preserves the nature of the grapes and the personality of the terroir. The hallmark of the house is its acute attention to detail, the bold choices made by the cellar master throughout the winemaking process, and the unfailing consistency of its precious bottles. Generation after generation, the gestures and techniques remain the same, but despite this, each generation has been able to add its own touch, a mark that endures, indelible, authentic and delicate. The promise of an exceptional, singular champagne.
