Additional information: The base wine for the Recolte Rose starts as a Blanc de Noirs of P inot Noir with the addition of Pinot Meunier giving it its salmon-pink hue. Pinot Meunier is not as common in the Cote des Bar as Pinot Noir, but Davy feels it brings a lovely spice and fruit to his Rose. With the base wine fermented and aged in used Puli gny-Montrachet barrels and a minimum of 2 years aging sur lattes with a dosage of 5g/L, it bears all the hallmarks of the Donson style – pure, focused, intensely mineral but with a clear, spicy, red-fruit and orange peel lift to the flavors.
