Rosé de saignée

This magnum holds the Rosé de Saignée from Drappier, one of the few rosé champagnes still made by the traditional saignée method. The Pinot Noir macerates on its skins for a few days, which gives the wine its deep colour. The house does not filter and adds only minimal sulphur, and the dosage is low.

In the glass you find strawberries, raspberries and blackcurrants with a touch of spice, and on the palate a fresh, finely drawn picture. The wine is drinkable young and keeps for five to ten years. The large format is especially suited to a table of friends. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass, as an aperitif or with antipasti, smoked salmon, lamb chops and strawberry salad.
