Bouvet-Ladubay - Brut Rose - NV

$30.00

Bouvet-Ladubay ages its sparkling wine in old tuffeau limestone quarries carved into the hills of Saumur, the same chalky rock the Loire's castles are built from. This Brut Rose is 100% Cabernet Franc, made in the traditional method with a second fermentation in bottle and a quick skin maceration that gives it its salmon-pink color. James Suckling gave it 91 points, Tasting Panel 92. An easy, food-friendly bubble for anyone who thinks rose Champagne prices are a scam.

Salmon pink with fine, persistent bubbles. Strawberry, raspberry, and brioche on the nose, dry and structured on the palate with a soft, lingering finish.

Good with barbecue or something spicy, this one can take heat most Champagne can't.

Bouvet sources fruit from more than 100 plots around the Loire through long relationships with local growers. The wine ferments first in steel, then a second time in bottle, and ages on its lees for a minimum of nine months before release.
