2013 L'Ermitage Rosé Sparkling

The 2013 Brut Rosé L'Ermitage is creamy and ample, with notable textural resonance that grows with time in the glass. The 2013 is one of the better editions of the L'Ermitage Rosé. It is beautifully rendered, especially in its palate presence. Small red fruit and floral notes are nicely amplified. I expect the 2013 will drink well for at least a few more years. Dosage is 8 grams per liter. Disgorged: November 2021.

This is primarily an excellent, light red wine, offering dried strawberries and herbs with stone and flint undertones. It’s full-bodied with tightness and layered mid-palate with an crisp, energetic finish. Fine bubbles at the end. 50% chardonnay and 50% pinot noir. Drink or hold. (03/2022)

Graceful and vibrant, with detailed strawberry, quince and spiced cinnamon flavors that expand and take on richness on the long, crisp finish. Drink now. 482 cases made.

The 2013 L'Ermitage Brut Rosé has pretty aromas of red berries, pastry, mushrooms and woodsmoke. The medium-bodied palate balances a deep core of fruit with mature nuances of brioche and coffee, a creamy mousse, energetic acidity and a long, layered finish.
