This exuberant wine seems contradictory – it has a deep colour and a very vinous texture, yet it is drier and more elegant than one might expect. The texture is rich, but with only 2g/L of dosage, there is enough freshness to sustain the bright red fruit aromas edged with floral notes. The wine is made with 18-20 hours of maceration before being pressed off and finished without the skins. Although it is not noted on the bottle, all the grapes come from the 2018 vintage.

Cherry-orange colored with aromas of blood orange, quince, raspberry, toasted nuts and herbs. Vinous and savory with subtle bubbles and a rounded finish. Very rich character. From biodynamically grown grapes. 100% pinot noir. Drink now.

The NV Brut Rosé de Saignée is a pure Pinot Noir from the Aube, deeply pink and such a calling card for the house. This opens with creamy strawberry and mellow butteriness. The palate adds a lovely tart berry frisson to the undeniable generosity and roundness of the palate, think redcurrant and a touch of fragrant nettle. The dark color also brings with it a lovely phenolic streak that carries white pepper, a most gastronomic rosé with primary fruit and rounded brightness. Dosage is 3.4gr/L. Disgorged: May, 2022. - Anne Krebiehl MW
