Champagne Gatinois Aÿ Grand Cru Brut Rosé

The Grand Cru village of Aÿ in the northern Montagne de Reims is home to some of the most saught-after Pinot Noir in all of Champagne, and the Gatinois family has been tending vines there since the 1600s. This rosé, though technically from the Vallée de la Marne, shows a lot more in line with Montagne de Reims wines due to the soil type and exposition of the vineyard. Primarily Pinot Noir with a splash of Chardonnay, It punches way above its weight class, showing beautiful notes of cherry, tobacco, and a saline-crisp finish. Sure to correct any rosé-skeptics in your life!
