Champagne: Dumangin Fils. Rose
Description
Coral pink in colour, this is a full-bodied rosé Champagne. It has a fine mousse and displays aromas of red-berry fruit followed by a palate of blackcurrants and raspberries prior to a dry finish.
- Style: Rosé Wine, Dry (Sec), Full-bodied, Sparkling
- Region: Champagne,
- Producer: Gilles Dumangin
- Grape variety (Cépage): Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir
- Wine pairing - drink with: Poultry
- Cellarage: A wine to be drunk within a year from disgorgement and final bottling.
- Vinification: The grapes are harvested from 25-year-old vines and fermented in stainless steel and enamel vats. After the addition of a liqueur de triage, the wine then rests on its lees for thirty months before disgorging, which takes place approximately three months before the wine is ready for shipping. At this stage a final dosage (of sugar) dictates the dryness of the Champagne and the 'house' style. Rémuage (the process of moving the sediment to the neck of the bottle before disgorgement) takes place manually and on wooden stands.
- Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 12%

What others think of this wine...
Susie Barrie in Decanter says:Gilles Dumangin says rose is his signature wine and the style accounts for 50% of his total production. Pale pink with a hint of violet, this is a fresh, delicate, floral style that is ideal for alfresco summer drinking. Drink now - 2012. (14.5)
