Champagne Ernest Rémy Rosé de Saignée Brut Grand Cru 2012

This exceptional champagne is made from Pinot Noir grapes from Ernest Rémy's oldest Grand Cru parcels, located in Mailly-Champagne, one of the Grands Crus of the Montagne de Reims. The cuvée is a Rosé de Saignée, a method in which the grape skins macerate with the must, giving the wine its colour and aromatic richness. The wine is aged in the cellar for a minimum of 48 months, allowing it to develop remarkable complexity and finesse. The dosage is 6 g/L, classifying this champagne as Brut.
