Rosé champagne from a tiny house

Bardoux Père et Fils Brut Rosé Champagne

This is a grower champagne, farmed and made in the Montagne de Reims. Bardoux’s domaine is half Meunier, with the balance split between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and while I couldn’t glean clues about the cépage of this non-vintage brut rosé from either grower or importer site, it’s almost certainly Meunier-dominant. The color is salmon with flame orange highlights, and its aromas are red-fruited and nutty, suggesting biscuit, roasted hazelnut, marzipan, and brioche. The palate is huge and savory, a bite of cherry-almond pastry that nonetheless maintains a kind of airiness, a breezy freshness.

A wine with enough oomph for aged cheeses, roasted nuts, salumi, tapenade, and hearty bread. We enjoyed it on New Year’s Eve with all of the above.
