Rosé de Saignée from Meunier

Roger COULON Rosélie is a Rosé de Saignée (made by maceration) crafted from 100% Meunier grapes sourced from old vines in the Premier Cru village of Vrigny in the Montagne de Reims. The skins remained in contact with the juice for 48 hours during maceration, giving this rosé Champagne a wonderfully fresh and light red wine character. The color is an intense raspberry hue. The bouquet is distinctly driven by red berry fruit. The body is generous and ample. The tannins are delicate yet perceptible. The mousse is cloud-like and silky soft. Aged for 4 years on the lees. Extra-brut dosage: 2 g/l.

The Roger Coulon Rosélie is a characterful rosé Champagne that beautifully demonstrates how vinous and terroir-driven a Rosé de Saignée can be. Unlike many lighter, fruit-forward rosé Champagnes, Rosélie focuses on depth, structure, and an almost Burgundian sense of expression.

In the glass, Rosélie displays an intense salmon-pink color with a fine, creamy mousse. The nose reveals aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries, sour cherries, rose petals, and wild herbs, accompanied by subtle yeasty notes and earthy minerality. On the palate, the Champagne is juicy, energetic, and precise at the same time, with saline tension, ripe red fruit, and remarkable length.

Rosélie is not a simple aperitif rosé, but a serious gastronomic Champagne. It pairs especially well with salmon, tuna, shellfish, duck, veal, aged goat cheese, or dishes featuring red berries and delicate spices. Thanks to its vinous structure, it is perfectly suited for discerning lovers of rosé Champagne.
