Montagne de Reims, Champagne, FranceArnaud Margaine is 5th generation winegrower in the Montagne de Reims, overseeing their sustainable vineyards. Their home village of Villers-Marmery is a little island of chalky Chardonnay in an abundant sea of Pinot Noir. This Rosé blends 80% chardonnay and 20% pinot noir, including 6% still pinot noir. Fermented in stainless, with no MLF, this spent 24 months on lees prior to disgorge with around 9 g/L. Pouring quite a deep hue this streaks brisk acidity across the driving palate, with wild raspberry, cranberry, cherry laced with pithy grapefruit. The core is quite pure, thought the acids are on the sharp side. One for acid lovers.Tasted: 01 December 2024Tasted by: Prices:

Fermented in stainless, with no MLF, this went into bottle and spent 24 months on lees prior to disgorge in May 2023 with 9 g/L. Perfumed cherry blossoms, raspberry, red and green apple flood a generous, softer palate, with ample perfume and a strawberry brioche sweetness. A softer, easier, pretty style.Tasted: 15 November 2023Tasted by: Prices:
