J. Lassalle Brut Rose NV

Since 1942 J. LASSALLE fall has been in the heart of Chigny-Les-Roses of the Montagne de Reims, with especially chalky soils, this is the land of champagne.

"J. Lassalle has turned out a spectacular non-vintage Brut Rose. It exhibits a light salmon/pinkish hue, and a gorgeously fresh, ripe nose of framboise reminiscent of a kir royale. This concentrated, yet delicate, authoritatively-flavored Champagne is dry, intensely rich, with plenty of cherry/strawberry-like flavors, medium body, and a long, fresh finish. It is a full-flavored rose that should drink well for 4-5 years."
