A rounded, ample wine. Its freshness is expressed b y the acidity of the red fruit. It then leads to a distinct fullness created by the aromas of ripe red berries and plums. The final sensation is one of warmth and exuberance.
On the eye: An intense colour, a clear and deep pink. On the nose: The first impression is fresh, suggesting the high spirit and vivacity typical of the Piper-Heidsieck style. It has a strong aroma of red fruit, dominated by the Morello cherry. This is followed by a fragrant harmony of citrus fruit, mandarins and blood oranges. The final impression leaves a hint of cinnamon. On the palate: A lively, generous and intense wine. Its freshness is expressed by the slight tartness of red fruit, which then mellows with the aromas of macerated fruit and red plums. The final sensation is exuberant and warm.
The latest release of the NV Rosé Sauvage Brut is, as usual, notably deep and saturated in hue thanks to the significant percentage of red wine in its blend. Unfurling with aromas of red berries, plums and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and vinous, with a ripe but sapid core of fruit and appreciable phenolic presence that simultaneously demand food and render it versatile at table.
Vividly pink, like crushed strawberry, this exuberant wine is—as its name suggests—on the dry end of the spectrum. The acidity is dominant, but it is balanced and there are vivid red currant flavors, and a texture of tight fruit skins.
