Champagne Emmanuel Brochet Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut 2019
Montagne de Reims, Champagne, FranceEmmanuel Brochet became a 1st generation Champagne grower in 1997 with vines located in Villers-Aux-Noeux, in the Montagne de Reims, and on the lieu-dit Le Mont Benoit. The single vineyard of 2.5ha is planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier and situated on a slope divided in two parts; on the upper level the oldest vines were planted in 1962, on the lower level the youngest in 1984. For this rosé, the pinot meunier comes comes from a neighbouring organic grower in the village in the lieu dit La Motelle planted in 1965. This receives a 24 hour maceration before a native ferment and 11 months in older barrel. It goes into bottle unfined and unfiltered, and after 2 years is disgorged with 0 dosage. Pouring a deep rhubarb hue, this pours a fruity, frothy, and actually fun dry rosé champagne, with structured red apple, cherry shaped with a chalky, meringue mid palate, lit with pink cranberry acidity, and finishing with an astringent pink grapefruit twist. I enjoy this playful meets serious rosé champagne with casual bites every time.Tasted: 01 December 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| USA | $250.00 | 750ml | USA |
