GARDET BRUT ROSÉ Blended Rosé

An exemplary blend rosé, at once caressing and fresh, aromatic without excess.

Composition

Grapes & Origin

Pinot Noir, 45%, the fire of the reds.
Pinot Meunier, 45%, the warmth of the Champagne earth.
Chardonnay, 10%, the line of light.

From the vines of some twenty villages, together telling the whole reach of AOC Champagne.

Fermentations & Ageing

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

The Brut Rosé is what we call a "blend" rosé. This is one of the two methods authorised in Champagne to obtain a pink-coloured wine, the second one being the partial maceration technique called "saignée". The blend method consists in adding a small portion of red (or rosé) wine to a white wine base.

Main harvest

White wines, about 90% of the blend: the year's wines combined with reserve wines (around 25%), built on the same architecture as 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.

Tasting

Tasting

A tonic, structured and powerful rosé. Fresh on the palate, balanced on the finish.

Optimal serving temperature

6 to 8 °C (43 to 46 °F)

Colour

Bright salmon pink, the mark of an assemblage rosé

Nose

Fresh red berries (strawberry, raspberry); notes of grapefruit and orange peel; hint of spices (pepper, cinnamon, saffron, turmeric).

Taste

Fresh, tonic attack. Red fruit holds the mid-palate, structured and carried by the strength of the red-wine portion. Balance and freshness close the finish.

Fine cuisine pairings

A summer evening aperitif above all. It stands up to a Moroccan lamb tagine, and finishes a meal happily alongside a shortcrust strawberry tart.
