Merchant's description
2008 is the second ever release of Rare Rosé and is a majority Chardonnay with Pinot Noir blend from 8 Grand Cru vineyards aged on lees for 9 years before disgorgement. The result is an elegant yet generous wine with satiny texture and impeccable balance. The palate is tightly wound and shows plentiful concentration suggesting excellent ageing potential.
