Champagne 'Brut Rosé' N.V., Pierre Malingre

Charming, crisp, and gastronomic. Champagne 'Brut Rosé' by Pierre Malingre is an expressive, refined rosé brimming with culinary potential, sourced straight from the heart of the Massif de Saint-Thierry. A seductive celebration of red berry fruit, seamlessly uniting the generous charm of Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir with the mineral focus of Chardonnay.

In the glass, it presents a radiant salmon-pink color with a fine, persistent bead. The nose opens enticingly with generous aromas of fresh raspberries, wild woodland strawberries, and a crisp mineral undercurrent. On the palate, it is smooth, multi-layered, and elegant. Juicy red fruit flavors are balanced by lively acidity and a balanced 9.5 g/L dosage, carrying into a refreshing, fruit-filled finish.
