Gaston Chiquet Brut Rosé Champagne 1er Cru

Tasting Notes

Chiquet's NV Brut Rosé is laced with dried rose petal, kirsch, orange peel, cinnamon and dried herbs. Readers will find an exotic, mid-weight Champagne with a ton of character. There's ample Pinot intensity and also a slight vegetal note. All those elements come together in a Champagne endowed with striking nuance. This is far from an easygoing quaffer, although I suspect it will do just fine in that role if asked. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Disgorged: May 2023. Drinking window: 2024-2029.
