Blue Mountain Brut Rosé R.D. Méthode Traditionelle 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis year's RD Brut Rosé raises the pinot noir to 67%, accompanied by 33% chardonnay. The two were whole-cluster pressed and fermented separately, then blended and added to the bottle for 30 months' rest on lees. This was disgorged with 10 g/L in August 2019, and released in November 2020. The elevated pinot this year is evident in this red-fruited fizz, with red berries, red apple leading the cushioned, doughy palate. While generous, the acidity is still bright, able to lead this fruity fizz to a gentle finish.Tasted: 09 January 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Blue Mountain Brut Rosé R.D. Méthode Traditionelle 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBlue Mountain's 2016 Brut Rosé ups the percentage of pinot noir, from 60 percent in 2015 to 67 percent this year, along with 33 percent chardonnay. That is reflected by the nose, which shows lots of expressive pinot fruit: crisp red berries and red apple that's framed by a modest toasty autolytic character from aging 30 months on its lees. Just off-dry with a ten g/L dosage, it's a richer style with a lot of charm and immediate appeal. But it shows its seriousness and incredible value as it evolves each time you return to it.Tasted: 30 October 2020Tasted by: Prices:
