Tasting notes

Aroma

A vibrant, fleshy nose of wild raspberry, blood orange, and fresh rose petals. The saignée method gives it a depth and earthiness that lighter rosés lack.

Palate

Medium-bodied and vinous. The palate is packed with fresh notes of wild raspberries and preserved citrus. It has a serious, chalky grip on the finish that makes it substantial enough to pair with duck or lamb chops.

Product Description

A 100% Pinot Noir Rosé with rare depth and intensity.

This is not a delicate summer sipper. It is a serious, gastronomic Champagne.

Stéphane Coquillette sources this Pinot Noir from two of the most powerful terroirs in the region: the Grand Cru village of Aÿ and the Premier Cru slopes of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. These are vineyards famous for producing dense, structured fruit that usually goes into prestige cuvées.

By using only these top sites and allowing for extended contact with the grape skins, Coquillette creates a Rosé that stands apart from the pale, simple styles flooding the market. It pours a deep, vibrant pink and offers a palate of incredible weight. It possesses the grip and complexity to stand up to a main course, offering a depth of fruit that is rare to find in the non-vintage category.
