Rosé de Saignée Brut

The Rosé de Saignée is the Fleury speciality 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 Demeter and Agriculture Biologique.

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