Rosé de Saignée Antoine Bouvet 2019

This Rosé de Saignée Champagne, made from Pinot Noir grapes, is produced by the head of this family estate, a winemaker who gave his name to the business. The massale-selected vines have flourished in the temperate-oceanic climate with continental influence and have been encouraged to draw all the necessary nutrients needed for their development from deep within the marl and limestone soils. This is all made possible by using environmentally friendly farming methods, which follow the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture. Low-intervention vinification is used in the cellar, typically meaning that indigenous yeasts start fermentation process with a modest amount of sulphur added to the wine.
The Champagne has a dazzling salmon-pink colour, enlivened by fine and plentiful bubbles which gives an impression of softness on the palate. It has fruity notes and a well-presented minerality, offering an overall nice freshness.
