TERROIR & VINTAGE NOTES

Winemaking & Aging
The Rose is dominated by Pinot Noir, followed by Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. During blending, the addition of a small portion of Pinot Noir from Champagne’s best terroirs for red wines – Cumieres and Les Riceys – gives the Rose Brut its beautiful color and subtle aromas of red fruits. Grapes are hand-picked and placed in small baskets. 8% of the Pinot Noir is vinified as a red wine. Post second fermentation, the wine is aged for three years on its lees, in bottle. 20% of reserve wines are used.
