| 75 | | | 92 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | You know how to tell a real Champagne enthusiast from a poseur? The real one loves brut rosé. And a real one would love this medium-bodied brut rosé, a most elegant wine with a deep pink color, ample mousse and a fresh, zesty aroma of red fruits, especially strawberry. On the palate the sensation is simultaneously elegant and clean, with good red fruit character and a suggestion of aromatic brown spices. Grapes: Pinot Noir 55%; Chardonnay 45% from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards. Serve chilled, about 45ºF/7ºC. Ruinart is the oldest Champagne house, having been founded in 1729. Among its first U.S. customers was none other than Old Hickory himself, President Andrew Jackson. Foods: chilled poached salmon topped with beluga caviar; crab cakes with not-too-spicy Louisiana-style Rémoulade sauce or crab- or crawfish-filled crêpes; spicy (but not hot) pickled shrimp with some tomato; lobster; filet of veal, tart of red fruits (not too sweet).
