The arrival of summer is always appreciated with a bright
outlook to the outdoors lifestyle and all the trimmings with it, including
delicious berry fruits, melons and tropical fruits. There was a compunction to put the bottle of 2004 Moet & Chandon Champagne Vintage
Rosé into the fridge to chill down. Family and friends arrived, brunch served on
the table, and out came the cork! Soft strawberry
pink with a little light-red, fine mousse streaming up through the wine to the
top of the glass, carrying with it the aromas of red summer fruits and soft
brioche and croissants. Softly
refreshing with just a hint of sweetness and succulence, perfectly countered by
fine acidity. Very little phenolic
grip. All judged perfectly to slip down
effortlessly. I don’t even want to be critical
and say there’s no great complexity, nuance, blah blah blah. This was just a delicious bubbles to
celebrate the sweetness of life and a foretaste of summer.
