It was developed more than a half century ago, when company president, Bernard de Nonancourt, perfected a particular technique of Champagne maceration. Here, Pinot Noir grapes from carefully selected plots are sorted and destemmed before vatting. Maceration, lasting from 48 to 72 hours depending on the harvest - helps in extracting a deep color and fresh, fragrant berry aromas. This process makes it possible to obtain the richest and most subtle expression of Pinot Noir. This is a rose characterized by its ripe red fruit aromas while expressing all the richness of the 10 best Pinot Noir crus in Champagne and also managing to be very silky and light on its feet.
DECANTER 95 POINTS - "Ethereal floral and raspberry nose. A vinous palate with a mild mousse, the soft texture all wrapped in spice, nuts, smoke and a superior berry tincture. Very long and easy to enjoy."
WINE ENTHUSIAST 94 POINTS - "This great rosé combines texture with bright fruit and a bit of age. It is poised between a ripe dosage and a crisp texture, with red fruits and toastiness marking the flavors. It is a fine bottling to enjoy now."
