UnknownThe name Jacquart doesn’t fall off the lips of our local Champagne drinkers. But its quality, style and better availability should change all that. Their non-vintage Brut Rosé is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. It looks rosé, but drinks bright, sassy and clean with the Pinot Noir adding a berry quality as well as body and a broad mouth texture.

Jacquart Rosé Champagne Brut, Non-Vintage $45 srp

A light salmon/strawberry color. Immediately lovable nose of berries, stone fruit and a hint of citrus in its full-spectrum, lightly toasty nose. Flavors don’t shout, presenting a rich, crunchy berry texture and consistently vibrant mouthfeel. Good body and a non-biting freshness prevails. Drink now.
