G.H.MUMM RSRV Cuvee Foujita Grand Cru, Champagne

RSRV Rosé Foujita is a blend of six Grand Cru terroirs, bringing together Pinot Noir from Verzenay, Aÿ and Bouzy, and Chardonnay from Cramant and Avize. Red wine from Ambonnay, another Grand Cru village, is added to the blend, lending fullness and intensity. The grapes are pressed and vinified separately before being blended with reserve wines. The wine is aged for a minimum of four years in the cellars before the dosage liqueur, sourced from Grand Cru terroirs and matured in oak barrels, adds final notes of pastry and vanilla. RSRV Rosé Foujita reveals notes of brioche, pastry and vanilla, mingled with hints of ripe berries and strawberry coulis. There’s a roundness and vinosity on the palate and a tense finish with flavours of red berries. Artist Léonard Foujita, a friend of G.H.Mumm, drew the rose motif, which has decorated the bottle of Mumm rosé Champagne since 1958.
