2019 Methode Champenoise Brut Rosé
94 INTL WINE REPORT | 93 OWEN BARGREEN | 91 WINE ENTHUSIAST
Tasting Notes
Bright aromas of orange peel, citrus, and lemon meringue are layered with warm notes
of brioche and baked apple. A fine, persistent mousse and silky texture lead to a vibrant
palate with remarkable finesse, finishing crisp, elegant, and refreshing.
The 2019 growing season was exceptional in the Willamette Valley. Following a cool
spring, the vineyard enjoyed a warm, dry summer with only a few brief heat spikes.
Cooler temperatures returned in early September, allowing the fruit to ripen gradually
while preserving freshness and natural acidity.|
This third release was disgorged in two tranches to ensure optimal freshness. The first
tranche of 234 six-packs was disgorged in August 2023, followed by 614 six-packs in October 2024.
