WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
It is a dream of pastel colors and sweets. The Rose Brut cuvée is a celebration on the palate, where dragonflies and butterflies flutter to the tune of a magical flute. From flower to fruit, fruit to flower, they whirl, drawing out the perfume of springtime. A BB imprint is soft and light, like the joyful caress of pink gossamer robe that rounds the body. This is the BB signature: gentle, soft and light. In French we call it “La Joie de Vivre”.
TASTING NOTES:
Delicate and focused, showing strawberries, blood oranges, fresh violets and roses. Even some chalky depth. Medium-bodied, it has a full-flavored palate with brilliant acidity and a red-fruit finish. Includes a partial blend from Les Riceys. 50% pinot meunier, 25% chardonnay and 25% pinot noir.

This textured Champagne is on the cusp between vibrancy and a sense of some bottle age in its toastiness. The crisper aspect still shows in the lime and red-currant flavors.

Great Champagne, with elegance. Notes of leaves, red dried cherry, red apple and toast. Crunchy acidity, long finish with complexity. Blend: 25% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, 50% Pinot Meunier.

This disgorgement of the NV Cuvée des Moines Brut Rosé is from September 2017 and is (probably) based on the 2014 vintage. The salmon colored wine leads to a delicate, fresh and vinous nose with intense red fruit and floral aromas and a refined chalkiness. It's a bit reductive perhaps but nicely round and fruity on the elegant and refined palate. An excellent cuvée of Pinot Meunier (40%) and equal parts of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
