L. Aubry Fils Rose Brut NV
Premier Cru Champagne
(Disgorged July 2023)
One of my all time favorite producers for the money and its been a good while since I grabbed the Rose offering to enjoy! This wine is made up of 30% Meunier, 30% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 5% mixture of Arbanne, Petit Meslier and Fromenteau.
MY THOUGHTS:
Pours a light salmon rose color with some reflective orange golden nuance. Frothy mousse carries to the lip of my tall glass. Laid back aromas of fresh croissant, red raspberry leaf, toasty yeast and soft whispers of citrus peel, fresh apple skins and spring rain. Palate sings a notch or two higher than the nose but with the same harmony and timing from opening flavors to the encore. Fine bubbles tingle the entrance with a gentle introduction as the first notes of crushed summer berries, tart watermelon rind, and expressed mandarin oils interplay with the bass notes that linger into a creamy strawberry soaked shortbread finish. Wow!
(FINAL SCORE 90/100)
