Champagne Brut Rosé étui Champagne Alfred Gratien

A rosé that charms from the first sip. Crafted by a family house in Épernay that still ferments its wines in small oak casks, it carries a gentle vanilla warmth alongside bright red fruit. Think wild strawberry, raspberry and a touch of blood orange, all wrapped in fine, persistent bubbles. The blend draws on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier from carefully chosen Champagne villages, aged patiently on lees to build real depth and a silky texture. Lovely as an aperitif, but it truly shines with grilled salmon, duck breast or a summer berry tart. Gift box included — ready to impress.
