Champagne Brut Rosé, Canard-Duchêne
wild strawberry • citrus peel • lively
45% pinot noir • 40% chardonnay • 15% pinot meunier
Fresh, dry, and unmistakably food-friendly, this rosé leans bright rather than plush. Wild strawberry, red currant, and blood-orange zest lead, followed by a clean mineral snap that keeps the finish brisk and refreshing. Fine bubbles and high acidity give the wine lift and precision instead of softness.
Pinot Noir plays a central role here, contributing both color and structure, while Chardonnay and Meunier help keep the wine agile and balanced. Rather than sweetness or creaminess, the focus is on tension, freshness, and versatility at the table—this is rosé Champagne meant to drink, not just admire.
Vinification prioritizes clarity and vibrancy, with fermentation in stainless steel to preserve fruit and brightness. Time on lees adds subtle texture and polish without muting the wine’s energy, keeping the overall profile lively and clean.
This cuvée is a natural bridge wine: perfect for guests who love Champagne but also gravitate toward lighter reds, and especially strong with salty, savory, or chocolate-based pairings.
