Gatinois’ Champagne Brut Rosé Grand Cru NV, with a base of 2020, is a vibrant and sophisticated rosé that captures the essence of the Grand Cru vineyards in Aÿ, a village renowned for its exceptional Pinot Noir. The Gatinois family, with deep roots in Champagne, expertly combines traditional winemaking techniques with a focus on terroir, creating a cuvée that is both expressive and balanced. This rosé is crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir, with a small addition of Chardonnay to lend finesse and freshness, and is vinified in the Brut style, allowing the fruit’s natural richness to shine.

On the nose, this Champagne presents enticing aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, and raspberry, with subtle floral undertones and hints of citrus zest. The palate is vibrant and creamy, with flavors of ripe red berries, blood orange, and a touch of minerality that reflects the chalky soils of Aÿ. The fine, persistent mousse and balanced acidity lead to a refreshing, dry finish, accentuated by a touch of spice and structure from the Pinot Noir.

Ideal for pairing with a variety of dishes, from duck breast and charcuterie to smoked salmon or creamy cheeses, this Brut Rosé is versatile and food-friendly. The 2020 base vintage brings a fresh, focused energy to the wine, making it a delightful choice for celebratory moments or refined dining experiences that call for a Champagne with character and depth.
