Champagne Fleury, Rosé de Saignée, Extra Brut

Description

This cuvee is produced entirely from old vine Pinot Noir and sees a brief period of maceration on skins, leading to the striking, glassy ruby colour. The bouquet is filled with bright red berries, rose petals and hibiscus. The palate swells with crushed pomegranate, tart damson, peach, and peach skin. Texturally invigorating – there is a wonderful, doughy character followed by a refreshing finish.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
