This Domaine Chandon NV Brut Rose is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir by using the traditional method. Backed by LVMH, the winery was built in 2013. Deep rose in color, it reveals citrus, rose, red berry and red cherry notes. On the palate, it is pleasant-fruity with some biscuit and toast notes. Tasting date: Sept. 22, 2017. Alcohol level: 12.5%.

A vivid pink color and ample fruit aromas are followed by fairly ripe, full cherry and strawberry flavors that hint at sweetness. The texture is soft and generously bubbly.

Snappy yet moderately structured, with demure cherry and graham cracker flavors. Drink now.
