Production notes

A blending rose (d’assemblage) that contains about 6% of red wine Pinot Noir from Champagne. Between 40 and 50% of reserve wines composed of almost 10 vintages are used to ensure roundness, complexity and consistency. Harvested by hand, whole bunch pressing, 100% pure cuvée. Alcoholic fermentation at 17˚C and malolactic fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Horizontal ageing in traditional chalk cellars for at least 30 months. Wines are left to rest an additional 2 to 6 months after dosage.

Tasting notes

Sight: Elegant salmon colour. Fine persistent bubbles. Smell: Very fresh nose. Large range of small red fruits including mulberry, raspberry and red currant. Taste: Lovely intense aromas. A positive first impression in the mouth with flavours of ripe red fruit. Harmonious balance between roundness and freshness.
