Notes:

This Champagne is one of my most favorite things in the world. Anyone who asks me what my last meal would consist of on death row: a bottle of Ruinart Brut Rose would be it. And I would die happy. This champagne not only is smooth and perfect; but the color is like no color you have ever seen in a champagne. Salmon and Coral hues with tiny sparkles of bubbles throughout it. At first smell you are not overpowered by the senses. It is an extremely subtle smell of florals and mild fruits. At first sip it is special. The bubbles do not overpower the flavor yet add to it. Unlike new world sparkling wines the texture is smooth and silky. Flavors of citrus and crisp orange rind and fresh picked strawberries and peaches. You can literally taste the color you see before you. This is summer in a bottle and pairs unbelievably with food. It is not overwhelming in any sense. This is the perfect pair for appetizers as well as dessert; especially a fresh macaroon from Ladure.

Before you die anyone and everyone deserves the pleasure of a glass of this perfect pink magic. It is decadence in a bottle and is worth every penny. Forget food for the week and buy a bottle. You won't regret it.
