Looking to up your rose game? Maybe an anniversary? (I just had number 28 this weekend!) Or maybe you’re just looking to spice up a Friday night?
This is the bottle for you…
So what is “saignee” Champagne? Most rose Champagnes are made by adding a portion of red wine to the white juice, mostly creating color and adding a small amount of red wine character. For saignee, the wine is made entirely from juice that has been left in contact with the skins for a period of time to extract color while retaining the characteristics of the red grapes. These Champagnes are darker, richer and more “vinous” than other rose.
And… well… this… “Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy is truly a master of the saignée method.” Wine Advocate
So, there ya go… from the master of the style comes this incredible bomb of a rose!
“fabulous and a great example of this style. A burst of dark red cherry, lavender, spice, blood orange and pomegranate races across the palate. This release screams with Pinot character, marrying depth with notable finesse along the way. I loved it. Dosage is 4 grams per liter." Vinous
“Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy wanted the 'explosion' of the 2018 vintage (on which this wine is based) in this deep, vivacious rosé from sunny Cumières in the Grande Vallée, and he definitely found it. There's nothing shy here, with tropical fruit, poached strawberry, cranberry and orange leaping above a texture that, whilst certainly intense and grippy, retains an unlikely-seeming level of refreshment and drive, just touching on bay leaf spice and delicious bitterness without the toughness that darker Champagne rosés can sometimes suffer from. Joyous.” Decanter
“This Rose champagne will harmonize perfectly with noble seafood, such as pan-fried scallops or the finesse of a lobster or crawfish. Back on land a lightly roasted duck breast with some peaches will be perfect. A peach soup accompanied by a few strawberries with a flute of rosé Champagne will leave the eye and the palate with an unforgettable memory.” Winery note
