NV Champagne Collet Brut Rosé, Champagne, France

ABOUT THE WINE

Born from a meticulous blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier—and including a portion of still red wine for color and depth—this non-vintage (NV) rosé delivers both freshness and complexity. The bouquet offers bright wild strawberries, red cherries, and whisperings of rose hip, followed by nuanced brioche and almond notes that linger. Vibrant natural acidity gives the wine an energetic drive, while the creamy mousse enhances texture. The finish is dry, clean, and echoes the wine’s red fruit character with a delicate toasty persistence. Ideal with smoked salmon canapés, grilled tuna niçoise, or a summer berry tart.
