Lifted scents of apple skin, wild strawberry and apricot compote glide from the glass of 2012 Philipponnat Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé, framed by hints of white pepper, honeycomb and toasted nuts. On the palate it feels satin-smooth yet tightly focused, with very fine, caressing bubbles and a core of red fruit and citrus that build into a long, energetic, subtly spicy finish. A refined, idiosyncratic rosé Champagne that captures both the power and precision of this acclaimed vintage.
Langoustines with citrus butter; Duck breast with cherry glaze; Aged Comté or Gruyère
