Mercier Rose NV (75cl)

The nose is characterised by aromas of small red fruits from the forest.

The sweet attack develops into red fruit. Its long palate is refreshed by the fruitiness of the grape varieties.

Serving:

The Brut Rose is a bold wine with considerable finesse. It is ideal as an aperitif or as an accompaniment for salmon, rack of lamb, or a light dessert such as stewed gooseberries.

Background Information:

Maison Mercier, founded in 1858 by Eugene Mercier at the tender age of twenty, is one of the great champagne names. Thanks to the drive of its visionary founder, Champagne Mercier has become a firm French favourite. Eugene Mercier strove against the odds to purvey champagne of the highest quality to a wide public. Eugene Mercier had a stock answer for inevitable sceptics: "You can laugh, but the day will come when rivers of champagne will flow through Epernay". Some ten years later Eugene was proved right.

By taking part in the great exhibitions of the 19th century and conducting an imaginative advertising campaign, Eugene Mercier aimed to catch the public imagination. Champagne Mercier was to become a fixture at all major social occasions.

The founder's spirit still prevails. The fresh, fruity, intense and spontaneous Mercier vintages fashioned by Christophe Bonnefond, Chef de Cave for the House, reflect this authentic, warm-hearted spirit.

Enjoyed in France and throughout the world during the most enjoyable of occasions, formal and informal, Mercier always brings something extra to the party. An excellent champagne with a generous and warm personality. Mercier: the champagne of great times.

In keeping with the traditional methods of the Champagne region, this cuvee is created by assembling local whites and reds. This assemblage is based on the Pinot Noir variety which reveals its fruity and lively character.
