Pehu-Simonet Brut Rose Grand Cru NV

We decided to get back into serving Champagne for the Holidays!
This is a brilliant wine... even more enjoyable about an hour after opening the bottle.  It is comprised of 70% pinot noir and 30% chardonnay, with 10% of the pinot noir from barrique-raised still wine, which provides an incredible depth to the palate.
Robust strawberry and red currant fruit complemented by mouthwatering acidity makes this a very food friendly wine ... it disappeared quickly paired with smoked salmon and shrimp. Looking forward to Gimonnet and Aubry waiting in the wings.
(The disgorgement date was not listed on the label)
