Champagne AOC Brut Rosé J. Charpentier

J. Charpentier's Champagne Brut Rosé is made from grapes from different crus of the region: Reuil, Binson-Orquigny, Châtillon sur Marne, Villers sous Châtillon, Le Breuil, Neuville sur Seine, Ludes and contains 80% Pinot Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir. The history of the maison begins at the turn of the 20th century. Since then the generations have succeeded and the winery is still family-run today.

The fermentation of the grapes takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature and is followed by the malolactic fermentation and the assembly of the reserve wines, in which there is a maximum of 8-11% of red wine, to obtain the desired color. Champagne rests on the lees for 30-36 months.

In the glass the wine appears pink with amber reflections, with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose there are aromas of red flowers, fresh red fruit, cherry and black currant, with notes of quince. In the mouth the wine is round and full-bodied, with a good persistence.

Pairing with fish appetizers, quite tasty fish dishes, grilled shellfish.
