Vincent Perseval — Rosé Assemblage

Rosé Assemblage

Vincent Perseval | Rosé

I've already tried quite a few champagnes from them – from Blanc de Blancs to Rosé. So it was only a matter of time before the Réserve Premier Cru bottle was pulled from the cellar. What's inside? Origin: Jouy-lès-Reims, Montagne de Reims 50% Pinot Noir | 30% Pinot Meunier | 20% Chardonnay ⏳ 9 years aging on the lees – and you can really taste it! Dosage: 9.6 g/l Aroma: Ripe yellow fruits, honey, a hint of toasted almonds Taste: Creamy and soft, subtle brioche notes, plus a fine spice and elegant acidity Definitely a bottle that shows how much maturity and character a Premier Cru can have! Which champagnes from Vincent Perseval have you tried – or are there other grower champagnes you can recommend?

With his cuvée of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier & 20% Chardonnay, he brings exactly what I was looking for: Powerful fruit that can stand up to the jalapeños & the spicy ground beef. Pleasant residual sweetness (11.2 g/l dosage) that cushions the heat. Freshness & acidity that harmonize perfectly with tomato, cucumber & lemon and the prominent fresh cilantro.

Tasting impression: Ripe blackberry that pairs wonderfully with the spice of the food. ️ The heat of the jalapeños? No problem – the champagne balances it perfectly. After the meal it develops even more intensity, becomes more spicy, denser and stays present on the palate for a long time - perfectly supported by my red wine glass from

This champagne shows that rosé can do more than just aperitif – with the right pairing it really comes into its own.

What's your go-to champagne for spicy food?
