Moet & Chandon Ice Imperial Rose Champagne

The 2019 Gorka Izagirre G22 is a remarkable expression of winemaking finesse and the Basque Country’s terroir. Crafted by Gorka Izagirre, a renowned winemaker with a commitment to tradition and innovation, this vintage showcases a blend of indigenous grape varieties, primarily Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza. The G22 is characterized by its vibrant acidity, a hallmark of wines from the Txakoli region. Its pale straw color hints at the freshness within, with aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and saline minerality that transport the drinker to the rugged coastal landscapes of the Basque Country. The palate is a symphony of crispness, with lively acidity complemented by flavors of white peach and hints of sea breeze. The G22’s finish is clean and invigorating, leaving a lingering impression of the unique coastal terroir. This wine embodies Gorka Izagirre’s dedication to preserving tradition while pushing the boundaries of modern winemaking, making it a delightful and authentic representation of Basque viticulture in the 2019 vintage.
