    "Bright flavors of macerated cherry, raspberry puree, pomegranate seed and pink grapefruit sorbet are layered with a subtle range of toasted brioche and salted Marcona almond. Finely knit and fresh, with an airy delicacy as the lively mousse carries the flavors on the finish."

    "With the 2018 vintage as its base, the NV Champagne Sauvage Rosé is salmon-colored with a copper tinge. Historically, this cuvée poured a very deep color, but they have dialed back on the color and the power, working toward a more refined and elegant style. This edition is a silky expression with attractive ripe, fresh red berries, roses, and croissants. Rounded, with a refined mousse that enhances the creamy texture, it offers notes of fresh apricot and juicy tangerine fruit on the finish. It’s approachable now but should age gracefully over the coming 10-15 years. Drink 2024-2040"
