Champagne Baron Albert - Brut Rosé L'Enchanteresse: A Delightful Sparkler in a Half Bottle
The General Wine Company is proud to offer the Champagne Baron Albert - Brut Rosé L'Enchanteresse in a convenient 375ml half bottle format. This charming sparkler from the Champagne region of France is perfect for intimate celebrations, romantic evenings, or simply enjoying a glass of quality bubbly without committing to a full bottle.
A Blend for Every Palate
L'Enchanteresse, meaning "the enchantress" in French, is a fitting name for this captivating rosé Champagne. Crafted by the Baron sisters, this delightful sparkler is a blend of three Champagne grapes:
- Pinot Meunier (24%) – Brings a touch of earthiness and body to the blend.
- Pinot Noir (28%) – Contributes a beautiful salmon colour and aromas of red fruit.
- Chardonnay (48%) – Provides the backbone of acidity and minerality.
Aged for 5-7 years in the cellars of Baron Albert, this Champagne undergoes a process called "vinification en fût de chêne," which translates to "vinification in oak barrels." This technique adds a subtle complexity to the wine, hinting at vanilla and spice notes alongside the vibrant fruit character.
Tasting Notes: A Symphony of Flavours
Appearance: L'Enchanteresse boasts a beautiful salmon pink hue with lively, persistent bubbles.
Aroma: The nose is delicate and surprising, offering a delightful interplay of aromas. Expect fresh red fruit notes like strawberry and raspberry, complemented by hints of citrus and floral nuances. The subtle oak influence adds a touch of vanilla and spice, creating a truly captivating bouquet.
Palate: The palate is light and refreshing, with a vibrant mousse (the sensation of bubbles on the tongue) that dances across your taste buds. The red fruit flavours from the Pinot Noir come alive, joined by hints of peach and citrus. The well-integrated acidity ensures a crisp and balanced finish, leaving you wanting another sip.
