Philippe Fays has created a cuvée for those who love champagnes with character.
This 100% Pinot Noir rosé is endowed with powerful fruity aromas that result from maceration of the grape skins together with the juice for 4 to 5 days.
This process, which is rare in Champagne, adds unique aromas and concentration to the wine, as well as a characteristic deep pink color.
Enhanced by the structure of the Pinot grape, this champagne develops pulpy, crisp aromas. The Brut dosage (9 g/l) adds roundness and sweetness to this naturally vinous cuvée.
A rosé de saignée made for intense champagne lovers.

Champagne fresco , frutti rossi come da previsione , poca persistenza ma non lo trovo un difetto . Lo bevo freddo sui 6/7 gradi e lo accompagno alla pizza (al posto della solita birra ..) o con formaggi molto freschi. E la terza volta che lo ordino e continuerò a farlo

What's the house style?
Malolactic fermentation on all cuvées, helping to soften the wine's natural acidity for softer, rounder aromas throughout tasting.
