Vintage Character Herbert Dubois Brut Rosé Grand Cru NV captures the essence of Champagne’s Grand Cru terroirs, blending Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the chalk-rich slopes of Avize in the Côte des Blancs. This non-vintage rosé displays a delicate salmon-pink color and a fine, persistent mousse, immediately enticing the senses.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Aromas of wild strawberries and raspberries are layered with rose petals, subtle citrus zest, and a gentle hint of brioche. On the palate, the wine is fresh and refined, balancing vibrant red fruit, creamy texture, and a precise mineral backbone. The Pinot Noir imparts structure, while Chardonnay brings finesse and elegance, culminating in a long, chalky finish with a touch of spice. The inclusion of reserve wines adds depth and complexity, reflecting the house’s signature style. Thanks to the cool nights and moderate warmth during the growing seasons for the base wines, this Champagne retains lively acidity and aromatic intensity. Its versatility makes it an ideal companion for dishes such as goat cheese crostini, a classic French charcuterie board, or salmon sashimi.
