Tasting notes
This cuvée is produced from the Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris grapes picked in Vertus, where the two varieties grow together in the same plot of old vines. It’s made by macerating the berries for a few days, a technique not commonly used in Champagne.
An original rose with notes of fruit and flowers. This rose champagne is ideal as an aperitif and also with a tuna-fish tartare or delicate meats.

THE WINE ADVOCATE – DECEMBER 2023 – 91 POINTS
« Larmandier’s 2020-base NV Rosé de Saignée Premier Cru Extra Brut was disgorged in November 2022 with two grams per liter dosage, and it’s one of the deepest, most saturated renditions of this cuvée to date. Offering up aromas of wild plums, sweet berries and petals, it’s medium to full-bodied, fleshy and vinous, with a deep core of fruit and a rich, decidedly gastronomic profile.»
