Paul Bara Grand Rose de Bouzy, Grand Cru, Champagne, France NV

This is based on a saignee of pinot noir, blended with some white wine from the Reserve blend and a touch of Bouzy rouge. It's deep in color, giving away its origins in maceration, and its flavors are intensely vinous and energetic, chomping at the bit in their kineticism and sleek tension. The red fruit aromas are full and expansive on the palate, combined with a silky harmony and grace, and it finishes with a lovely perfume of sweet cherries, inviting you to drink more.
