Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
40% Pinot Noir, 40% Meunier and 20% Chardonnay. It is a rosé d’Assemblage (blended rosé) that contains around 6% red wine from Champagne. Between 40 and 50% of reserve wines are used in order to ensure consistency.
Winemaker Notes
Harvested by hand, whole bunch pressing, 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. The wines are left to rest an additional 2 months after dosage before being shipped.
Food Pairing Notes
This is a very engaging Champagne to be served with an assortment of wild berries and a light Sabayon or a fresh fruit soup. Also lovely with quail, game with cranberries or even a foie gras.
