Rosé de Saignée Brut

The Rosé de Saignée is the speciality of Fleury and is made from 100% Pinot Noir. As with a red wine, the colour comes from the juice, which is drawn off after brief contact with the grape skins. Only a few champagne houses use this old method. At 18,000 bottles the quantity is modest, and the house is certified by Demeter and Agriculture Biologique.

On the nose it smells of redcurrants, strawberries and raspberries. On the palate it shows lovely vinosity and a pronounced gourmet side, fresh and fine at once. That makes it a table champagne: it accompanies poultry and game, but also suits chocolate cake or pain perdu made with pink biscuits from Reims. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass with a little volume.
