This refined Premier Cru grower Champagne is composed of Chardonnay from the lieu-dit Les Blanches Terres in Coulommes-la-Montagne and Pinot Noir from the lieu-dit Saint Lié in Villedommange. The blend highlights the freshness, precision and mineral character of Chardonnay, complemented by a small proportion of Pinot Noir red wine that contributes delicate color, fruit and structure.
Chardonnay accounts for 94% of the final blend. It is primarily fermented in stainless steel and allowed to undergo full malolactic conversion. Fifteen percent of the Chardonnay is vinified in oak without malolactic fermentation, adding subtle texture and complexity while helping preserve freshness and tension.
The wine is aged for approximately four months in stainless steel and blended with 60% reserve wine before the addition of 6% Pinot Noir red wine. It then spends a minimum of 48 months en tirage before disgorgement, developing greater depth, a refined texture and fine, persistent bubbles.
The Les Blanches Terres vineyard is characterized by calcareous, silty and calcareous-clay soils scattered with white stones. These mineral-rich soils contribute to the wine’s freshness, structure and distinctive sense of place. Yann and Séverine Alexandre farm their vineyards with careful attention to soil health, biodiversity and precise vineyard work. The estate is certified sustainable by OCACIA.
Elegant and gastronomic, this Chardonnay-driven rosé Champagne offers a graceful balance of freshness, texture and delicate red-fruit character. Its fine mousse, mineral energy and measured Brut dosage make it an excellent aperitif as well as a versatile companion at the table.
Pair with smoked salmon, tuna tartare, shellfish, sushi, roast poultry, charcuterie, creamy cheeses and delicately spiced dishes.
