J. Lassalle Premier Cru Rose Brut

70% Pinot Noir, 15% Pinot Meunier, 15% Chardonnay

5 year old base wine makes up 30% of rosé blend.  Rosé is made in the traditional style, oeil de perdrix (eye of the partridge), a very pale, delicate style found among the most elegant of Champagnes. Aged minimum 36 months on the lees before disgorgement.  The color is pale pink, delicate, effervescent ... The first nose evokes liquorice, the signature of Pinots Noirs with good maturity. Then the red fruits (strawberry, cherry) appear subtly in a soft and sensual range. The mouth expresses a very beautiful minerality (salinity), a balance operates between a slight astringency and a crystallinity linked to the composition of the wine. The wine's posture is ample and upright, giving it a beautiful personality. 12% ABV
