Rosé de Saignée

The Rosé de Saignée from Leclerc Briant is made from 100 % Pinot Noir and is an organically grown Extra Brut. The grapes were macerated for two days, hence the cherry-pink colour that is typical of saignée rosés. Unlike an assemblage rosé, the colour here comes directly from the berry skins.

The nose shows concentrated red fruit: blackcurrant, wild strawberry and sour cherry. On the palate the mousse is creamy, joined by a salty note, elegance and a distinct vinosity. The wine has breed and character. It goes with Pata Negra ham, sautéed squid, lightly cooked scallops or tuna fillet. Pour it at 9 to 11 °C, ideally in a white wine glass or a small red wine glass, which focuses the fruit character.
