On a recent visit to Provincetown, we spied a bottle of Crémant Brut Rosé and wondered if it just might have the poise and finesse to help us enjoy keeping "Our Sparkling Resolution."
I wouldn’t say, “we’ve never met a crémant we didn’t like,” but almost! It’s a nice value bottle of bubbles that’s often just as satisfying, and perhaps not as intimidating, as Champagne.
Paul Chollet Crémant De Bourgogne Brut Rosé is described by its winemaker as having fine bubbles with a creamy and persistent mousse. The delicacy of the Rosé can be seen in “the very beautiful robe of a shiny and delicate pink” – sounds like poise to me.
The characteristics of the Pinot Noir are “marked by notes of red fruits, raspberry and ripe[ness].”
The cuvée of Pinot Noir, “gives us the balance, the generosity and the power of the Pinot Noir Bourguignons” – anyone for finesse?
“This ideal aperitif wine is very popular with a chocolate or fruit dessert or a tatin tart.”
Can’t wait to hear that cork pop!
We purchased our bottle of Paul Chollet Crémant De Bourgogne Brut Rosé at Glass Half Full in Provincetown for around $20.
