TASTING:

The ruby red hue of this Rosé de Saignée is, first and foremost, a treat for the eyes. The nose of this Champagne is a bouquet of spring. Rose, wild strawberry, raspberry and later blackberry harmonize perfectly to offer the taster aromas unexpected in a usual Rosé Champagne. The palate is a continuation of the nose, with the structure of Pinot Noir leaving a convincing vinosity on the finish. Because of its freshness, this Champagne Rosé de Saignée should be enjoyed young to benefit fully from these crisp, fresh red fruit aromas.

AGREEMENTS:

This rosé champagne will harmonize perfectly with trendy “Asian” cuisine by offering savory, sweet and spicy flavors. A steak tartare will reveal the vinosity of this Champagne, thus bringing balance to the dish. A peach soup accompanied by some strawberries with a glass of this Champagne Rosé will leave an unforgettable memory in your eyes and mouth.
