Pinot Noir dominates Ice Impérial Rosé champagne too, with 45 to 55% of the blend, including 10% red wine. It contributes its fruity intensity and vinous character to the champagne. Meunier brings roundness and complexity (35 to 45%) and contributes colour (10% red wine). On the finish, the 5 to 10% of Chardonnay in the blend contributes freshness.
Its colour is a deep pink adorned with golden glints.
Morello cherry, cranberry: red berries start proceedings, before being joined by nuances of juicy summer fruit like fig and nectarine. A note of grenadine syrup punctuates the gourmand aromas.
With their pronounced aromas right from the start, the sweetness of the red berries melts into the ensemble and becomes lighter, giving way to a sensation of balance between fruit and freshness. The fresh finish releases a delicately bitter note of pink grapefruit.

On the palate, this champagne calls red notes to mind. The brilliant red of redcurrant and raspberry jellies, but also the deep tones of blueberries, figs, and blackberries. Then comes the copper-orange hue of a grapefruit slice. Its counterpart is green. The intense, fresh and honest green of mint, like the deep green of scrubland, thyme, borage.
A surprise is in store, a culture shock. Echoing the clink of ice cubes in a champagne glass. The geometric cuts of fruit and vegetable tartares collide with the imperial bubbles. The wild flesh of raw or marinated fish brings sea breezes to the ice cubes. The contrast between crunchy and juicy, between smooth textures and seeds of spice, piques the personality of this rosé champagne.
The ingredients and the champagne each assert their own character, they come face to face, they answer each other, understand each other.
