Pierre Peters Rose for Albane

The NV Champagne Rosé For Albanne Brut pours a medium pink hue and is expressive with soft floral notes of rose petal, raspberry, and apricot. The palate is juicy and fresh, with a chalky texture and structure as well as more orchard fruit of ripe peach. An incredibly charming wine that is hard to resist, this can carry on its own or throughout a meal. The finish is well-balanced and offers a light saline touch. Drink 2023-2033.

Based on the 2016 vintage and disgorged in January 2021, the new release of Péters's NV Brut Rosé for Albane is already showing very well, bursting with aromas of plum, peonies, orange rind, pomelo and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, pillow and vinous, it's deep and seamless, its fleshy core of fruit framed by lively acids and animated by a pearly mousse, concluding with a long and sapid finish. Seamless and complex, this stands out as a particularly good release of this bottling.

A fascinating rosé delivered in a playful, strident pink format, it has all the fine red fruits and fragrant rose-like perfume you could wish for. Alluring sherbet-like creamy texture and fresh strawberry and raspberry fruit flavors that hold long. Drink now.

The NV Brut Rosé for Albane is terrific. Sadly, this release, based on 2015, will be the last for the Peters Rosé. Bright and lifted, with terrific depth, the Rosé is wonderfully expressive right out of the gate. Cranberry, crushed red berry fruit, white flowers and mint lend freshness to play off the wine's generous personality. This is one of the most overt Peters Rosés I can remember tasting.

With a delicate orange-pink color, this is a sophisticated rosé, balancing its acidity easily with raspberry fruit flavor. It's light and fruity, yet offers a touch of structure that lifts it to another level.
