Beaufort, Andre NV Champagne Polisy Rose Brut [Base 2018, disg. Jan 2024]

The André Beaufort NV Polisy Rosé Brut is from the 2018 vintage and was disgorged in January 2024. It's a deep crimson rosé and shows redcurrant, raspberry and cherry fruit on the nose, with a nice herbal lift. The palate has more wild red berries with lovely texture and crisp acidity that's in perfect balance, with hints of herbs and some earthiness that lingers. This opens up nicely with aeration - just delicious as an aperitif or serve with charcuterie, salmon, tuna or sushi.
