Rosé of Pinot Noir, Louise Brison

Louise Brison vintage champagnes express the uniqueness and exquisite rarity of each year. Sun, rain, strong winds, or light frosts... Vintage champagnes reflect the weather and the passing of time, the years that are never alike. Making vintages excellent is commonplace but making each year a vintage is an art in itself.

For her exuberant and vinous rosé—pure Pinot Noir always from a single vintage—Delphine employs whole-bunch semi-carbonic maceration for five or six days, followed by nine months of aging in used barrels before bottling for secondary fermentation. Tangy, spicy, and juicy, this wine dances on the palate, its bright acidity counterbalancing notes of fresh jam while its tensile Kimmeridgian minerality provides a sturdy base.
