title: Domaine Chandon NV Étoile Rosé  (California)
description: It’s pale for a rosé, with just the slightest onion-skin or copper color, but the 47% Pinot Noir shows up in the raspberry flavors that fill the aroma. It’s there in the flavors, too, which are rich in strawberries as well as Chardonnay’s peach and apple ones. Yet it’s quite dry and racy, and finishes with some bitterness.
variety: Champagne Blend
designation: Étoile Rosé
