I say: superb pink fizz made in the Vintage Cap Classique Bottle-Fermented way.
Krone says: "Gossamer pink. Aromatics of frais de bois, the straw- berry edged in papaya pip spice. Ethereal notes of rosewater skate along denser tones of crushed or- ange peel. Pinot noir led, the terroir is vividly sketched on the palate, sun-baked stones, the perfect ripeness of gentle summer, strawberries, white peach, tangy cranberry freshness. The acids are lemony and soft, light and buoyant. A deeper tug into fresh cream, a layered mouth-coating mousse, finishing with linger- ing notes of toasted hazelnuts."
The classic varieties of pinot noir and chardonnay are handpicked in the cool of the night. Krone Cuvée Brut Rosé is bottle-fermented on the lees, and prior to disgorging, the bottles are packed in wooden pupitres and the rémuage (turning of bottles) is done entirely by hand. Truly a handcrafted wine.
