Description
What kind of wine it is
Jean Vesselle's Champagne Rosé de Saignée Brut is an intense expression of Pinot Noir. It stands out for its deep pink colour and fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet blends notes of red fruits, mint, lavender and spices. On the palate, the soft entry develops into a fresh acidity reminiscent of cranberry. The sip is marked by a profound minerality, with flint notes and a savoury, dynamic texture.
Where it comes from
This Champagne originates from the Montagne de Reims, a region that imparts a distinct mineral character to the wine. Jean Vesselle cultivates his own vineyards to faithfully reflect the landscape, ensuring a structured and distinctive glass. Served chilled, it is an excellent companion for charcuterie boards and cheeses. Its fluid texture also perfectly enhances dishes based on fish and shellfish.
How it is produced
This wine is produced using the Traditional Method through the saignée technique. The must undergoes a short maceration on the skins for 24-48 hours, extracting colour and fruity aromas while limiting tannins. The secondary fermentation in the bottle defines its elegant texture. Ageing on the lees lasts two or three years, providing structural harmony. The Brut dosage finally ensures a dry and balanced profile.
History and Curiosities
This Champagne Rosé de Saignée Brut from the family-run Jean Vesselle winery expresses the terroir of the Montagne de Reims. Unlike traditional blends, the brief maceration on the skins of Pinot Noir imparts an intense hue and intoxicating aromas of red fruits and spices. The skilful saignée method, combined with at least two years of ageing on the lees, ensures a silky and mineral sip, already celebrated by international critics. A sustainable masterpiece, capable of evolving in the cellar with extraordinary elegance for a decade.
