GARDET BRUT ROSÉ Blended Rosé

The rosé made the patient way. A white-wine base touched with a measure of red, the colour read in a glass before a label is seen. Caressing and fresh at once, aromatic without ever raising its voice.

Composition

Grapes & Origin

Pinot Noir: 45%
Pinot Meunier: 45%
Chardonnay: 10%

Origin: About twenty villages located across the whole AOC Champagne area.

White blend (90%): stainless steel, alcoholic fermentation followed by full malolactic fermentation.
+ AOC Champagne red wine (10%): vinified in stainless steel, part of it matured one year in oak barrels.
+ Bottle-aged on the lees for at least 3 years.
+ At least 3 months' rest after disgorgement before shipping.

Dosage

Brut: 8 g/L (liquor made out of the same wine and beet sugar)

Timeline of the bottle

Production timeline

Brut Rosé follows the assemblage method, one of the two ways authorised in AOC Champagne to make a pink wine, the other being saignée, the partial maceration of red grapes. Assemblage means the precise addition of a small share of red wine to a white-wine base, which keeps full control of colour, aromatics and structure in the maker's hands.

Main harvest

White wines: 90% of the blend. Year's wines and reserve wines (about 25%), similar to our Brut Tradition.

Reserve wines

One tenth of the blend, and much of its character: the red wines. Pinot Noir and Meunier from three homes, Trigny, Chigny-les-Roses on the Montagne de Reims, and Neuville-sur-Seine on the Côte des Bar. Part of it rests a year in oak barrels, where it gains depth and weight.
