Luscious meringue-like hints of sweetness highlighted by subtle floral notes with just the faintest whiff of spring – add a refined, red-fruit driven bouquet and you have all the hallmarks of a masterfully macerated rosé. On the palate the wine is wonderfully plush, with kirsch-like notes of raspberries intermixed with juicy citrus adding verve and layers of depth.

Rosé champagne has always been a speciality of the House, thanks to a terroir blessed with old-vine plantings of Pinot Noir. Treated as a separate batch, these grapes are harvested separately over a twoday period, then sorted on a triage table before de-stemming and gentle crushing – all under the watchful eye of the cellar master.
