Rose de Saignee 1er Cru Brut

Score

"The NV Brut Rose de Saignée (100% Premier Cru Pinot Noir from the 2018 vintage) is fabulous and a great example of this style. A burst of dark red cherry, lavender, spice, blood orange and pomegranate races across the palate. This release screams with Pinot character, marrying depth with notable finesse along the way. I loved it. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: June, 2023."

"Raspberries, redcurrants, strawberries, rose petals, geraniums and a hint of bread crust. The palate reveals mature fruit and balanced acidity. Intense pomegranate and blackberry flavours, finishing with a subtle nuttiness. Ripe, concentrated and distinctive."

"Based on the 2018 vintage and disgorged in January 2023, the latest release of Geoffroy's emblematic NV Brut Premier Cru Rosé de Saignée bursts with notes of sweet red berries, petals and blood orange. Medium-bodied, rich and fleshy, with powdery structuring phenolics, it sees a comparatively long, destemmed maceration that is kept cool with dry ice."

"A pink/cherry color, the NV Champagne 1er Cru Rosé De Saignée Extra Brut is ripe and inviting on the nose, with notes of macerated berries, violets, purple flowers, and savory herbs. Medium-bodied and broader shouldered, it fills the palate and has some real structure as well as a fluffy expanding mousse. A heartier rosé, it retains good freshness and will be best enjoyed over the next few years."

"Firm and tightly meshed, with hints of grilled herbs and graphite lacing flavors of blackberry clafoutis, wild cherry, smoke and red licorice as they ride the creamy mousse. Mouthwatering, minerally finish. Disgorged January 2023. Drink now through 2026. 200 cases imported."
