This cuvée comes from Pinot Noir harvested in Vertus and Pinot Grigio planted in the same old vines. It is obtained by macerating the grapes for a few days, a technique rarely used in Champagne.

This technique is rarely used in champagne: the pinots are selected on a sorting table, partially destemmed and then macerated for 2 or 3 days. This is followed by natural alcoholic fermentation (indigenous yeasts ) in concrete vats and eggs, malolactic fermentation, then aging on the yeasts for almost a year. The draw will take place at the end of July.

After aging for at least a further 2 years in the cellar, disgorgement is carried out 6 months before marketing with a dosage of 2 g/L.

This Rosé Champagne is suitable as an aperitif with tuna tartare or delicate meats.
