Most pink Champagne gets its colour from a splash of red wine blended into white. This one does it the hard way: the berries macerate on their skins for a few days before pressing, a technique that needs perfectly ripe fruit and is rarely used in Champagne. The house simply calls it "the true rosé." The fruit comes from the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the Premier Cru village of Vertus, where about 10% Pinot Gris grows mixed into the same plot, so the blend is decided in the vineyard rather than the cellar. As with everything at this biodynamic house, it ferments on indigenous yeasts and goes through malolactic. It's a single-year wine (this one is from 2022), finished Extra Brut. Think of it as a rosé Champagne for dinner more than for toasting: deep and penetrating enough to stand up to savoury meat dishes.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Tuna tartare; seared duck breast with cherries; roast quail or squab; veal chop with morels; thin-sliced jamón ibérico as an aperitif.

Tasting Profile

Expect a deeper, more vinous rosé Champagne than most: red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry with savoury, earthy notes, a fine mousse and a light grip of tannin from the skin contact. Malolactic rounds out the medium-bodied texture, while the Extra Brut finish stays bone-dry, fresh and long. Think of a red Burgundy that happens to sparkle.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
