ROSE DE SAIGNÉE

CUMIÈRES PREMIER CRU

Cuvée Rosé de Saignée is a champagne made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes grown on the Cumières terroir. The estate’s rosés are the fruit of a love affair that goes back to the first wines made by the Geoffroy family. After a few hours in contact with the grape skins, the juice acquires a natural colour and subtle aromas of red fruit.

TASTING :

Intense ruby colour. The nose of this champagne is a bouquet of spring. Wild strawberries, cherries and blackberries are the dominant aromas of this cuvée. A Champagne that betrays its terroir, with full-bodied fruit and a long, delicious finish. This champagne will win you over with its colour and its juicy personality.

PAIRING :

This Rose champagne will harmonize perfectly with noble seafood, such as pan-fried scallops or the finesse of a lobster or crawfish. Back on land a lightly roasted duck breast with some peaches will be perfect. A peach soup accompanied by a few strawberries with a flute of rosé Champagne will leave the eye and the palate with an unforgettable memory.
