" The pale pink colored NV Bouvet Trésor Brut Rosé is a highly delicate, round, remarkably intense and complex barrel-aged Cabernet Franc sparkling wine with red fruit aromas (raspberry, candied cherries) intertwined with lemon, fine nougat, fresh oak and brioche notes in the chalky background of the Saumur terroirs. Mouth-filling, intense, dense and round on the palate, again with a hint of fresh oak, this is a complex, elegant, seriously and sustainably structured Rosé sparkling wine of impressive class. My personal taste goes for purer and drier styles; but to give a party and make as many guests as happy as possible, this is an excellent (and fairly priced) Brut."
