Champagne Philipponnat Clos des Goisses Extra Brut Rose 2012

Clos des Goisses is a single walled vineyard owned by Philipponnat at Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, on a steep south-facing slope above the Marne. This 2012 rosé from it blends Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and is finished Extra Brut: dry, high in acidity, medium-bodied. Red fruit, stone fruit and citrus come first, then brioche, toast and butter, with minerality and a touch of spice.

Serve chilled with fish and seafood, or with a fruit dessert that isn't too sweet.
