NV Champagne Deutz Rose (Champagne, FR)

Varietal:  80 Pinot Noir  10 Chardonnay   10 Pinot Meunier 

Attractively direct in style, this begins with aromas of flowers and pomegranate and moves into finessed flavors of fresh red berries, grapefruit zest, and slivered almond. The fruit here is delicate, but lively, and the acidity provides just enough backbone to drive home the elegant finish.
