Champagne Ernest Rapeneau Epernay Brut Rose 79+ Points

Champagne Ernest Rapeneau Epernay Brut Rose 79+ Points



Clear, day bright, pale salmon with bronze/coppery hue, medium complexity and medium viscosity, fine consistent bubbles, no sediment.

Clean, medium intensity, strawberries, raspberries and cranberries, ripe Pinot Note (80% & 20% Chardonnay) evident slight delicate earthy note, brush of oak, quite primary note for a Champagne, very little autolysis character, quite fruit forward! uncomplex nose.

Dry with some residual sugar, not in tune with the acidity which is fairly medium for a Champagne, some phenolic note contribute to the low plus to almost medium tannin character and structure, unusual for sure, could there be a higher proportion of Vin de Taille in this wine?

Red berry note, fairly simple in structure, short finish, no aftertaste, quite a travestite for R 327 a bottle, enjoy now until 2015!
