Extra-Brut Rosé de Saignée les Beaudiers (Vendange 2015)

Les Beaudiers is a rosé de saignée made from 100% Meunier, vintage 2015, dosed as an extra brut. In the saignée method the juice takes on its colour through contact with the skins, with no red wine added. The champagne comes from the place called Les Beaudiers and was bottled in only 3,665 bottles. Farming is traditional and sustainable, with influences from organic viticulture.

It is structured and complex, with fruity and mineral notes and a rare fullness. In the mouth it stays fresh, and the vinosity is appetising. That makes it an exciting aperitif, but also a partner for light game dishes and poultry. For dessert, a red fruit crumble works. Serve it at 9 to 11 °C in a white wine glass with some volume, not in a narrow flute.
