The flagship "prestige" rosé from the estate, representing a step up in intensity and complexity from their Rosé de Meunier. It is a 100% Pinot Meunier Champagne crafted using the traditional saignée (bleeding) method, where the juice is macerated with the skins to extract deep color and bold tannins.
Aromas: An intense, "wild" nose featuring dried cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petals, often accompanied by savory notes of mint, tobacco, and "gamy" undertones.
Palate: Deep, dense, and structured—more like a light red wine with bubbles. Expect flavors of pomegranate peel, redcurrant, and a distinct salty/saline minerality on the finish.
Evolution: Critics note it needs significant time in the glass to open up and is "not for every palate" due to its eccentric, savory style.
Old Vines (Vieilles Vignes): Sourced from a single low-yielding parcel in Chavot called "Les Beaudiers," with vines planted in 1953, 1958, and 1965.
Winemaking: The grapes are destemmed and macerated for 12 to 16 hours. Unlike many Champagnes, it undergoes no malolactic fermentation and is fermented with natural yeasts in oak barrels to maintain high tension and a vinous texture.
Dosage: Very low, typically ranging from 0 to 4.5 g/L (Extra Brut), though recent releases like the 2020 base are often dosed at 3 g/L.
