Brut Rosé Crémant

J.L. Denois

An expressive nose of strawberry, cherry, pear, and even peach, nuanced by a whole bakery of yeast notes and a chalky minerality. Dry and easy drinking, this wine also holds onto its bubbles for an almost ridiculous length of time. Pair with foie gras in terrine, scallops, lobster, truffled poultry, or chaource cheese. A special occasion wine at a week-night price.

Country:  France

Region:  Limoux, Languedoc

Appellation:  VMQ Methode Traditionnelle (because the Rosé style is not yet included in the Crémant de Limoux AOC)

Climate:  Cool Mediterranean

Altitude:  400m

Soils:  Clay & Limestone

Varietal/Blend:  100% Pinot Noir

Fermentation:  Direct pressed Pinot Noir juice coloured by the addition of a small amount of saignée juice from the Pinot Noir still wine cuvée after two days maceration.

Ageing:  Second fermentation in the bottle (Champenois method) without any added sugar but rather using reserved Pinot Noir must held at 0ºC to prevent fermentation until this time. Maturation on the lees in bottle for at least three years before riddling and disgorgement. 7g/L dosage.

Vineyard & Vine Age:  Fruit from the Saint Pierre and Borde Longue parcels in Roquetaillade, among the highest vineyards in the Aude. Organic. Hand harvested into small 15kg crates to avoid premature crushing and oxidation.

ABV:  12.0%

Produced Cases: 

CSPC:  871542
