Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne Rosé Brut by J. Charpentier is a structured wine that fully expresses the character of its terroir. In the glass, it displays a coppery salmon pink colour, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. The fruity bouquet opens with notes of quince, delicate floral fragrances and hints of fresh small red fruits such as currants. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied and robust sip, with pronounced hints of cherry and blackcurrant. Its significant structure and persistent finish make it perfect for pairing with shellfish, lamb dishes and red fruit desserts.
Where it comes from
This wine is born in the heart of Champagne, around the village of Villers-sous-Châtillon. The J. Charpentier estate follows a sustainable agricultural approach on limestone-based soils, which give the Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir grapes a solid minerality and freshness. The grapes come exclusively from old vines over fifty years old, a viticultural heritage preserved by a family of independent winegrowers now in its fifth generation. This meticulous care results in an authentic and clear narrative of the land.
How it is produced
Production strictly follows the Traditional Method, with secondary fermentation in the bottle ensuring a fine and consistent effervescence. To achieve the distinctive hue and enrich the aromatic profile, the base is blended with a still red wine from the estate. The Brut dosage guarantees a dry and clean balance, enhancing the liveliness of the drink without sacrificing elegance. This skilful vinification gives the wine remarkable breadth and excellent ageing potential, allowing it to mature harmoniously over time.
History and Curiosities
Originating from Villers-sous-Châtillon, Champagne Rosé Brut embodies the prestige of a family of independent winegrowers now in its fifth generation. This award-winning wine is produced from vines over fifty years old, entirely owned and lovingly cultivated in the heart of the region. Its production faithfully follows the traditional method, enhancing the aromatic profile with a skilful proportion of still red wine. An authentic excellence that celebrates the unrivalled tradition and spirit of the French region in every glass.

The union of Pierre and Marguerite Charpentier bore three sons. Marcellin, who took over from his father in 1946 began developing the champagne in 1954 with Marcellin's brand Charpentier. He and his wife, Solange, had three children, including Jacky, born in 1949. In 1960, Marcellin died prematurely and Solange continued her husband's work with Jacky and his brothers.
1983 saw the first expansion of the cellar and in 1987 a great technological innovation was introduced: thermoregulation. At that time very few winemakers there were equipped with this.
There was further extension in 1997 with diversification of the vinification methods using 200L barrels along with setting up several French oak tanks.
Claudine Charpentier and Jacky had two sons, Jean Marc, the eldest, was born in 1979 and also Marie-Pierre, born in 1988. After obtaining high school, Jean Marc received his BTS Viticulture and Enology. His passion for wine encouraged him to take the National diploma in Oenology (DNO) and after two years he had a wine and marketing masters. Read more
