Saignée De Meunier Rosé Brut Nature

Lelarge-Pugeot

The 2014 vintage marked Lelarge-Pugeot's first ever foray into an entirely Pinot Meunier-driven, saignée method, rosé bubbler, and wow is she a killer! Derived from the very early pressings of Meunier grapes, with the freely running juice 'bled' from the tanks after only a day of maceration, the wine is dominated by an overarchingly savory and masculine feel, uninhibited by any addition of dosage, and hemmed together with a soft touch of chalky tannin. Reeling with cool and leafy red berries, cherry 'Sweet Tarts' and strawberry yoghurt, this is a sparkling wine of substance and structure making it a versatile companion on any dinner table.
