<h1>étoile Rosé, sur lees 2003 -- Domaine Chandon Shopping Cart</h1> 92 Points étoile Rosé, our premium cuvée. ACCOLADES 92 Points, Wine Enthusiast, December 30, 2008 90 Points, Wine Spectator, December 15, 2007 PHILOSOPHY French for star— étoile embodies our commitment to crafting the finest sparkling rosé in America. The winemaking team has carte blanche in creating this wine. They have absolute freedom to break from all traditional limitations and commonly accepted rules in sparkling winemaking. This philosophy is now also visibly represented by the use of a crown seal. This unconventional closure symbolizes our commitment to providing the best sparkling wine to our consumers. For example, we impose no appellation requirement and allow the winemaking team to source from the very best vineyards in any given vintage. With no vintage requirements, we have the freedom to blend the current vintage with the perfect complement of library, or reserve wines, to build layers of depth and complexity. This is the concept of sur lees dating. And finally, we subscribe to no predetermined varietal blend or style; we simply reflect the best style the vineyards have to offer. étoile Rosé combines the forward fruit of a red wine and the elegant structure of a white. It is coveted by the most passionate connoisseurs for its unique character and limited availability. TASTING NOTES In keeping with the traditional rosé winemaking method, we add a small amount of red wine (Pinot Noir) prior to tirage to create the distinctive salmon color with copper hues. The wine’s aromas are rich and complex - floral notes with Santa Rosa plum, raspberry and nutmeg. These aromas follow through on the palate and are layered with candied ginger and pomegranate flavors, evolving into truffle, cocoa and earthy tones. The wine finishes with excellent length and richness that will stand up to a variety of foods. FOOD AND WINE PAIRING The understated power of this wine with its bold but elegant character is an excellent match with the richness found in foie gras, lobster, veal, and simple desserts such as crème brûlée. For even more fun, try this wine on a romantic picnic.
