Along with the estate’s Blanc de Noirs, this is the other must-have wine. Its intense pink color is limpid. The nose is expressive and complex, with red berries: wild strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, redcurrant and spices such as Sichuan pepper. The palate is full-bodied, greedy, very fruity, lively and structured by silky tannins, with a long, refreshing finish. James Suckling: 92/100

Technique

Viticulture

Varied limestone and marl from the Kimmeridgian Jurassic, cool, sunny, semi-continental climate in southern Champagne, average altitude 250 m. Agro-ecological practices: precision viticulture, extensive prophylaxis, soil tillage, grassing or sowing between the rows, organic compost, no weedkillers, no insecticides, HVE and VDC certification since 2015. Development of biodiversity by planting orchards, truffle oaks, melliferous fallow land, late mowing of grassed areas (pollination), restoration of vernacular heritage (cadoles).

Oenology

Harvested exclusively by hand and progressively according to the ripeness of the grapes. Sorting in the vineyard. Immediate transfer to openwork crates. Rosé d'asesmblage: white wine (slow pneumatic pressing, no pruning, static settling, light sulphiting, simple yeasting, natural malolactic fermentation, light filtration after chilling) + red wine (manual sorting of bunches, total de-stemming, gravity-fed vatting, gentle maceration under immersed cap, 6-day vatting). Aged for an average of 36 months on the lees, disgorged with low dosage to preserve the purity of the wine.
