- The best Grand Année Rosé ever
- Even better than the 2012 white
La Grande Annee Rose 2012 consists of 95 % white Grande Annee 2012 and 5 % still red wine from the famous Ay terroir Cote aux Enfants. The addition of this best plot of Ay and perhaps best pinot noir plot of the entire Champagne region that is also known as the Romanee Conti of Champagne has moved la Grande Annee Rose into a different league. La Cote aux Enfants which is a steep slope under a lime stone cliff high up above the village gives this champagne a subtle juicy fruitiness and enticing spice that is indeed reminiscent of the great terroirs of Vosne-Romanee. The still red Cote aux Enfants adds a component of fruit and spice which makes the champagne delicious now.
