Domaine Chandon Brut Rose NV

I love sparkling roses at the moment but they can be very sweet and confected if they aren't done with care. Domaine Chandon can draw on a lot of experience both from Australian and European winemakers so I was hoping that the wine would stay away from the sweet end of the spectrum. What you get with this none-vintage isn't sweet but it does possess some sweet fruits in a drink now, love me now style.

Domaine Chandon Brut Rose NV

This is a combo of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay but the flavours stay more towards the Pinot end of the spectrum with flavours of strawberry biscuits and cherries with a creamy texture coming through. On entry the wine comes across as rich but it soon lightens itself up with a wedge of acidity. Even thought I haven't been really on the hunt for sparkling roses this has put me in the mood for a journey. Game on!
