2015 Billecart-Salmon Brut Le Rose Vintage, Champagne, France

A beautiful coppery pink hue with delicate salmon reflections. An intense aromatic burst of redcurrant and cherry in syrup, with hints of candied mandarin, coffee, and almond calisson, followed by refreshing notes of menthol and a touch of spice. A vibrant and juicy attack, unfolding with hints of pomelo and peach, stretching into mandarin juice notes that linger. The finish lifts with whispers of ginger, toasted almonds, and a touch of Sichuan pepper.
