Assailly, Champagne Rosé (Grand Cru)A beautiful rose scented and delicate Ros from 100% organic winemakers Pascal & Vincent Assailly in Avize. The Ros is blended from 87% Chardonnay sourced from their grand cru vineyards with the addition of 13% organic Pinot Noir. Displays a very fine bead and ripe yet dry finish. Delicately balanced with a lovely crisp mouth feel. Light on it's feet too, at 12% Alc so perfect for a midday splash and lighter foods.
