Mumm ‘Cordon Rouge’ Champagne Rosé NV (17.5/20), made up of 85% ‘Cordon Rouge’ NV
with 14% still red wine from PN and PM and 1% still Chardonnay blended in, and
the dosage at 8 g/l rs. Pale pink in
colour, the nose was one of subtlety and delicacy, with florals and soft red
fruit hints. Dryish, the palate
possessed flavours of sweet strawberries with floral notes. Gentle through the palate with some hints of
texture and a soft weighted presence, the fresh acidity provided good liveliness. This was very approachable and completely
undemanding. RC March 10
