NV Pongratz Rosé 75+ Points

NV Pongratz Rosé 75+ Points

New addition to this enduring Méthode Cap Classique old generation brand. Fancy packaging.

Pale salmon pink, shy and austere, very little aromatic complexity, with faint hints of red berries, simple.

Medium plus acidity, tart, not in balance, simple short aftertaste, rather one dimensional.

Considering the price, there is far more better Rosé Cap Classique available, even in their own stables, such as the magnificent JC Leroux Pinot Noir 2006, a mile ahead in quality, structure and complexity, and cheaper……… a marketing gimmick that’s guarantee to confuse the consumer when it comes to the appreciation of quality Rosé Cap Classique, caveat emptor
