Drappier Champagne Rosé de Saignée Brut

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.

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.

Til lidt mere fyldig mad er et godt valg Drappier Brut Rosé de Saignée...Den er forholdsvis robust med god kontant syre. Den passer til hummer og torsk, hvis tilbehøret ikke er for voldsomt. Den kan også drikkes til lyst kød, f.eks. fjerkræ.

This bone-dry wine is made using Pinot Noir skins to give its salmon-pink color. It Is dry and tightly crisp, compared with the brut nature cuvée also made from Pinot Noir. The ripe red fruits give a fruity character that balances the dryness. Like many really dry Champagnes, it needs to age to soften the intensity of the acidity, so drink this bottling from 2017.
