The NV Brut Rose Ultradition (Meunier) is a very pretty, delicate wine. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, cedar, sweet spice, tobacco and dried flowers all grace this understated, wonderfully classy Rose from Laherte. Lifted, perfumed aromatics and silky contours add to its considerable appeal. The Ultradition is a total delight. This release is 60% 2019 and 40% 2018. As always, the Ultradition Rose is a blend of components that are vinified blanc (60%), with maceration (30%) and saignee (10%). Dosage is 6-8 grams per liter. Disgorged: April, 2022.
