Eighty percent of the exact base of the 2007 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs plus 20% pinot noir from Aÿ, vinified as red. A lovely rose gold hue suggests some evolution. A lifted, evolving nose suggests tisane of rose hip and hints of blood orange. More air reveals a spiciness found in Medjool dates. Creamy rather than biscuity, the texture is scented with gentle red fruit while the tiniest bubbles, the finest mousse lends a gentle touch. This all tapers toward a bright and creamy citrus finish.
