Cuvée Paradis Brut Rosé étui

Champagne Alfred Gratien
Imagine a rosé champagne that feels like a celebration in a glass. Crafted by a family house in Épernay that still ferments its wines in oak casks — a rare, old-school touch you can taste — this 2008 vintage comes from a sunny, generous year in Champagne. Chardonnay brings elegance and freshness, Pinot Noir adds red-berry depth and that lovely salmon-pink glow. Expect wild strawberry, raspberry and a hint of brioche from long cellar ageing, with fine, persistent bubbles. Beautifully boxed, it's ready to gift or to open with roasted poultry, salmon or a fruit dessert. You'll want more than one bottle.
