TASTING NOTES
Very pretty, with lovely floral and rosehip notes on the nose, blossoming into apricots and a slight touch of honeyed fruit on the palate. Elegant without sacrificing intensity, this is a seriously pleasurable Rosé.Armit Wines

CHAMPAGNE WINE REGION
It is said that a champagne bottle is popped open every second of the day somewhere in the world.

CHAMPAGNE WINE REGION
As important as the big name brands will continue to be, Champagne domaines such as Pierre Gimonnet epitomise the spirit and, above all, future for this region. It is worth remembering that there are over 300 villages and defined vineyard areas in Champagne but only 51 of these command Premier or Grand Cru status.
The region's name conjures up an immediate sense of celebration and joie de vivree, revered the world, with an image which the Champagne industry has promoted brilliantly for over a hundred years.
