Extra-Brut Rosé Première Cuvée predominantly Pinot Noir with a small proportion of Chardonnay
Production area: Reims Soil: limestone Harvest: manual Vinification: cuvée made exclusively from the first pressing of the grapes, blending the Pinot Noir in its two forms. In white: pressed quickly, after rapid separation of the juices from the skins; in red: by prolonged maceration of the juices with the skins. The blend consists of a first pressing of a majority of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Reserve wines made up of 25 different vintages blended since 1985, in proportions of up to 50%. Ageing: 3 years on the lees followed by 3 to 4 months in the bottle after disgorgement and before marketing Colour: light golden copper, raspberry when young and salmon when ripe Bouquet: lively and fruity, with aromas of currants and fresh red fruit. When opened it reveals hints of cherry, strawberry and violet, and finally a light, fresh touch of citrus fruit Palate: fresh and generous vivacity, sensations of ripe fruit in all its freshness. A refined, pure, elegant, delicate and long finish Bitterness: 6 g/l Alcoholic Grade: 12% vol
