    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Pommery, Cuvée Louise, Rosé, 1999

    The Cuvée Louise Rosé Vintage 1999 is made from the vineyards of Avize, Cramant and Ay, three of Champagne’s greatest winegrowing areas, with the addition of some extremely fine red wine from Bouzy. Its colour is a pale pink with a slightly salmon hue. This simply effervesces with characterful, vibrant fruit. Strong mineral, citrusy flavours with overwhelming suggestions of crushed creamy strawberry fruit, through to a tense, lifting finish. A very rare champagne.

    ABV:
    12%
    92/100
    Josh Raynolds, Vinous
    Light, bright gold with a delicate bead. Complex aromas of brioche, lemon rind, pear and yellow rose, with suave lees and honey undertones. Fleshy and broad, with gentle acidity reining in sweet orchard fruit and citrus flavors. The toasty note returns on the long, sappy, intriguingly smoky finish. Drinkable now as there's plenty going on, but this will repay patience.
