is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Louis de Sacy’s Champagne Rosé de Saignée Grand Cru 2018 is an extraordinary expression of Pinot Noir, crafted using the saignée method to achieve its vibrant, ruby-tinged hue and bold character. This vintage rosé offers an enticing bouquet of ripe red berries—wild strawberries, raspberries, and red cherries—accented by notes of rose petals, orange zest, and a subtle hint of spice. On the palate, it is both lush and precise, with flavors of fresh berries, candied citrus, and a touch of toasted almond, supported by a creamy mousse and bright, refreshing acidity. The finish is long and mineral-laced, reflecting the chalky terroir of its grand cru origins.
Produced with care and precision, this Rosé de Saignée is a testament to Louis de Sacy’s commitment to traditional winemaking. Grapes are hand-harvested from grand cru vineyards in Verzy and Verzenay, where the Pinot Noir thrives in chalk-rich soils. The saignée method, involving a short maceration to extract color and structure, results in a rosé that is both vibrant and complex. The 2018 vintage, marked by warm conditions and excellent ripeness, lends this wine a remarkable depth and balance.
This rosé Champagne is a perfect pairing for dishes such as duck breast with a berry reduction, roasted salmon, or charcuterie. Its bold fruit profile and elegant structure also make it a delightful choice for celebratory moments or as a standout aperitif. Louis de Sacy’s Rosé de Saignée Grand Cru 2018 captures the beauty and power of Pinot Noir in a wine of exceptional finesse and intensity.
