Ruinart Dom Ruinart Brut Rose 2009

The 2009 Dom Ruinart Rosé reveals a delicate pink color with raspberry highlights. The first nose reveal spicy notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger, which mingle with refreshing citrus aromas such as blood orange and kumquat. Second impressions are more floral, unveiling violet and peony complemented by fresh, iodized oyster shell notes. The attack is enveloping and silky with notes of tangy red fruits such as pomegranate and redcurrant. The mid-palate is smooth and saline. Firm and intense, the finish is supported by a delicate bitterness and a fine effervescence.

Try pairing this exceptional champagne with oily fish or white meat dishes seasoned with warm spices, citrus fruit, or vegetables like squash and carrot.
