Maurice Grumier LES ROSIERS

Pinot Noir 100%, Dosage extra-brut : 4 g/l

Terroir : “Les Rosiers” is a parcel in Ventueil planted in 1968 by Maurice, Fabien’s grandfather. These Pinot Noir vines, now almost 60 years old, produce ripe, rich wines with beautiful density.

Vintage 2018, only 1'287 bottles produced (April 2019)

A single plot “Les Rosiers”, a single “Pinot Noir” grape variety and a single vintage gave birth to this unique and exclusive Champagne. The Rosé de Saignée Extra-Brut draws its substance and fruitiness from a short maceration of the juice with the grape skins. This rare but traditional method in Champagne brings more vinous and complex rosés to the table. 100% barrel-fermented and unfiltered, without malolactic fermentation.

It has a garnet red color and offers floral and fruity aromas, a potpourri of licorice, cherries, violas and red berries. Very elegant and vinous on the palate, this is a well structured Rosé Champagne with a lovely Pinot character in the finish that displays very delicate red fruit and floral aromas also in the finish. This lovely Rosé drinks like a classic Pinot with bubbles. Good length and minerality here.
