    Description

    A structured and delicate vintage Brut Rosé champagne

    The estate

    In the shadows of its 3 kilometres of underground galleries of Gallo-Roman origin, the eminent Joseph Perrier Champagne House perpetuates a know-how and a respect for tradition which has been passed on generation to generation. Each plot is vinified separately so that the identity of each of the Champagne terroirs can be expressed, with bespoke ageing processes.

    The wine

    An exceptional champagne, Esprit de Victoria Rosé 2010 is named after Queen Victoria who chose Joseph Perrier to be the official supplier to the Royal Court. For this fine champagne, Joseph Perrier has selected the best terroirs of Premiers and Grands Crus of Champagne, notably Cumières, Mailly, Rilly, Chouilly, Le Mesnil sur Oger and Avize.

    The vintage

    Although January was particularly cool, conditions were milder from March onwards. The cool nights in June delayed the flowering period. July was marked by strong heat combined with stormy spells. September was hot and sunny. Although all these conditions led to a slow and late ripening process, the grapes harvested showcased a high quality and an ideal sugar content.

    Winemaking and ageing

    Joseph Perrier's Esprit de Victoria Brut Rosé 2010 is vinified and aged in a plot-by-plot manner in vats and then in the bottle in the house's cellars for a minimum of 6 years.

    The blend

    Chardonnay (24%),
    Pinot Meunier (11%)
    Pinot Noir (65%), 18% of which comes from the Cumières vineyard.

    Joseph Perrier's Esprit de Victoria Brut Rosé 2010: Characteristics and tasting tips

    Tasting

    Colour
    The colour is an intense pink. The effervescence is very delicate.

    Nose
    Fine and delicious, the nose mixes fruity fragrances (ripe red fruits, wild strawberries, cherries) with subtle minty notes and orange jam.

    Palate
    The attack is lively and fruity (kirsch, candied fruit). The palate is structured, enticing with its exotic notes, its length and its perfect balance between fullness and finesse.

    Food and wine pairing

    A perfect aperitif, Esprit de Victoria Brut Rosé 2010 will complement a beef carpaccio with shavings of duck foie gras, a red tuna mi-cuit or aubergines stuffed with smoked salmon and parmesan.
