Allan Scott Les Joues Rouges Rosé Methode Traditionnelle NV

A true Methode Traditionelle, this Sparkling Rosé is made from 100% pinot noir grapes

Viticulture

The Allan Scott Cuvée Rose uses fruit from the Marifold pinot noir clone as it is known for its summer fruit characters. The grapes are picked early to retain their acidity

Vinification

The Juice is left to macerate on its skins for three days and hence picks up a bright pink colour as well as all Pinot Noir characteristics but avoiding any tannins
The wine then receives the full Methode Traditionelle treatment and is aged on its lees until it is deemed ready to be disgorged.

Description

A subtle pink colour, Les Joues Rouges is a complex but elegant rosé. Dry, crisp and refreshing it is shows an array of wild summer fruits, such as ripe strawberries and raspberries. The focussed acids lead to a mouthwatering fruit finish. The bubbles enhance the aromas on the palate making this a very fitting drink for the summer months which is equally delicious throughout the rest of the year.

Serving Suggestions

Fun but stylish, impress your friends with this coppery pink bubbly. Excellent as an aperitif or try pairing with a summer dessert
