Tasting notes
The NV Champagne Rosé For Albanne Brut pours a medium pink hue and is expressive with soft floral notes of rose petal, raspberry, and apricot. The palate is juicy and fresh, with a chalky texture and structure as well as more orchard fruit of ripe peach. An incredibly charming wine that is hard to resist, this can carry on its own or throughout a meal. The finish is well-balanced and offers a light saline touch. Drink 2023-2033.

Based on the 2016 vintage and disgorged in January 2021, the new release of Péters's NV Brut Rosé for Albane is already showing very well, bursting with aromas of plum, peonies, orange rind, pomelo and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, pillow and vinous, it's deep and seamless, its fleshy core of fruit framed by lively acids and animated by a pearly mousse, concluding with a long and sapid finish. Seamless and complex, this stands out as a particularly good release of this bottling.
45% saignée de Meunier, 55% Chardonnay. 7 g/l dosage. Disgorged May 2015. Very pretty pale orangey pink.Victoria plum fragrance. Light and fruity but with drive and length, and excellent freshness, showing well after the time in bottle and a fine fine grip on the finish. (JH)
The 2013 Rosé d’Albane is all class. Bright, focused and finely chiseled, the 2013 offers striking precision and nuance throughout. Cranberry white flowers, chalk and mint give the wine its lifted, finely sculpted personality. The 2013 is pretty but also a touch fleeting. Dosage is 7.3 grams per liter. Disgorged September 2016.
