Drappier Champagne Rosé de Saignée Brut Magnum

Both delicious and one of this region’s very best rosés. There’s mouthwatering crushed raspberry notes, a hint of cherry, and a fine texture which avoids the too-tannic cut of some saignées. But the clincher is the faint spicy, creamy hint achieved by a tiny influence of oak. Impressive and satisfying. 100% Pinot Noir. Stainless steel. 5% made in large oak. Dosage: 6g/L.

Pretty nose of strawberries, peaches, honey and brioche, followed by a creamy and deliciously fruity palate. Lightly peppery pink-peppercorn character. Fresh and bright at the end. From organically grown grapes. Unfiltered.

Disgorged in July 2018, the latest release of the NV Brut Rosé de Saignée is showing well, exhibiting aromas of red apples, white flowers, citrus oil and redcurrant. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and incisive, with a generous core of fruit, racy acids and chalky grip on the finish.
