Champagne Guy de Forez Rosé des Riceys (Rosé)
More from this producer: Champagne Guy de Forez
2018
Dark, pale garnet, very much like light Burgundy in colour. A hint of blood orange and dark cherries on the nose, with blackberries, blackcurrants, sloes and hedgerow fruit. Concentrated and chunky on the palate, a little rustic and clumsy in style. Decent enough, though this is one to buy if looking for light Burgundy rather than rosé.
