N.V. Colin Premier Cru Rosé Champagne

Really, really surprised by this one. I got some relatively good news today and decided to ‘celebrate’ (it was also a Monday, which is another great reason to open some champagne). I had meant to wait for my wife, but, well, she was late. So I opened it without her, that will learn her. One of the darker rosés I have had and the red fruit exploded out of the flute. Strawberry, raspberry and a touch of lemon. On the palate, tons of bubbles and a hint of sweetness. Great acidity and balance, I was really impressed with this one. Outstanding.  93 points.

About the drunken cyclist

I have been an occasional cycling tour guide in Europe for the past 20 years, visiting most of the wine regions of France. Through this "job" I developed a love for wine and the stories that often accompany the pulling of a cork. I live in Houston with my lovely wife and two wonderful sons.
