Tasting Notes:

‘ The Rosé de Saignée has a deep ruby color resembling a red wine, with strawberry and raspberry flavors. Typical character of Pinot Meunier. Produced with old vines only - which is reflected with a higher degree of fruit concentration and intensity. Some might be puzzled by a special taste in a champagne: the tannin. It is a Bolder, Darker, and Stronger champagne that would raise your eyebrows. ‘
