Tasting Notes
Aroma
Steady flow of dynamic bubbles. Intense Pinot Noir
bouquet of zesty citrus (Etna oranges) and red fruit
(wild raspberries) with a fresh, reductive edge, which is
something of a feat in a sunny year such as 2018.
Appearance
Bolder and deeper pink hue with bright red tints.
Palate
We have
the sensation of a vinous, powerful Pinot Noir in a wine
that is fresh, broad and juicy on the palate. The minerality
imparted by the soil is in balance with the sunny nature
of the vintage: We have the impression of velvety breadth
and chalky freshness. The tannic structure is there, lending
the wine depth and endowing it with a full-bodied, savoury
and mouth-watering quality. Freshness then takes over,
giving way to some dynamic, powdery sensations that
are almost chalky and ferrous in character. We have the
impression of a firm, vinous wine, perfect for gastronomy.
The champagne crescendoes to a magnificently saline
and savoury finish.
Vinification
A rosé created by a long, gentle infusion
of Pinot noir that extracts its juicy
ripeness while preserving its tremendous
saline freshness. In this process, some
Chardonnay juices are added to the Pinot
noir maceration, to ferment together and
achieve the perfect integration of the two
grape varieties.
Vintage Notes
With the 2018 vintage, our vintage rosé champagne
is taking a new direction. Climate change and the
successively drier and sunny summers have altered the
profile of the Cumières grapes. This change convinced
us of the need to look for Pinot Noir grapes that would
provide additional intensity and aromatic freshness... as
well as adding more tannic structure due, in particular,
to slower ripening... without losing the charming, juicy
hallmark character of the “Rivière” vineyards' south
facing
slopes. So, in the early 2010s, we embarked on
a deeper exploration of the Mesoclimate found in our
vineyards at the mouth of the River in order to locate
grapes with this profile. We carried out numerous trials
in which we infused the Pinot Noir grapes from differen
plots until, in 2018, we found our future direction! The
result is our 2018 vintage rosé Champagne, which
retains a good proportion of the taste-filled Cumières
grapes but is now complemented by a wider, more
complex array of aromas originating from plots in
Chouilly and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Our rosé champagne
boasts a deeper colour; its palate remains juicy, but a
more tannic structure adds depth and a mouth-watering,
textured mouthfeel that lengthens the finish.
