About
A méthode traditionnelle sparkling rosé from Monmousseau, aged in cellars cut into the tuffeau limestone of the Cher valley at Montrichard. Strawberry, redcurrant and soft brioche on the nose, with bright red-fruit weight balanced by clean acidity and a fine bead, finishing long on fruit and brioche.
Monmousseau ages its traditional-method sparkling wines inside fifteen kilometres of tunnels cut into the tuffeau, held at a steady twelve degrees year round. Its rosés typically spend around eighteen months maturing down there before release, built from a blend led by Cabernet Franc with a portion of Gamay.
Serve it chilled, on its own or alongside something simple. It's built to fizz and refresh, not to be picked apart course by course.
Producer note
Monmousseau was founded in 1886 at Montrichard, on the Cher river in Touraine, and produces Crémant de Loire, Touraine Brut and Vouvray sparkling wines alongside the value-priced Veuve Laperrière line.
