Pinot-Chevauchet - Elégante Rosé

An entirely undosed Rosé, zero added sugar, made from 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir macerated and vinified as red wine. Bottled in spring 2020 from the 2019 and 2018 harvests, vinified without malolactic fermentation, aged six years on lees. The combination of Brut Nature dosage, blocked malolactic and long lees ageing makes this one of the most technically demanding cuvées in the range. Very rare and uncommon. Recognised as an outstanding wine by Gault & Millau 2021 and awarded one star in the Hachette Guide 2022.

Tasting notes: Beautiful light pink with orange-hued glints and generous foam with fine bubbles. On the nose: fresh red fruits, particularly wild strawberry. On the palate: chilled, smooth and elegant. The freshness is striking. The finish, fresh with lemony notes, is persistent, elegance enhanced by the complete absence of added sugar.

Food pairing: Perfect as an aperitif. Outstanding with king prawns grilled on plancha or any seafood.
