Flavor profile: pure, concentrated, intensely mineral, yet with a clear, spicy taste of red fruits and orange peel. Beautifully balanced, with the tannins and sweetness particularly well expressed.

The Récolte Rosé is a great rosé champagne! The base wine for the Récolte Rosé is created as a Blanc de Noirs of Pinot Noir, with an addition of Pinot Meunier, which gives it the salmon pink hue. Pinot Meunier is not as common in the Côte des Bar as Pinot Noir, but gives this rosé a subtle hint of spice and fruit, but never seems too sweet. The wine's fermentation for 10 months in used 228-litre Puligny-Montrachet oak barrels, followed by 24 months of ageing in barrique, definitely does not go unnoticed.

If you're looking for a Rosé Champagne that stands out from the usual "strawberry lemonades," you've come to the right place. Cheers!
