The Charles Mignon character revealed in its Rosé version: its blending of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay gets animated when the red wine of Bouzy (7 to 9%) joins it. Dense aromas of tart cherries combine with the mineral freshness of Charles Mignon style. A rose petal colour translates its elegance.
Winemaking
Blended: 75% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay from the first presses of the Premier Cru
terroirs of the Montagne de Reims « Mutigny, Mareuil sur Ay, Bisseuil, Ludes,
Trépail and Tauxières » of which 7 to 9% come from the Grand Cru village of
Bouzy, the Coteaux d’Epernay « Hautvillers, Pierry » and the Côte des Blancs
« Grauves ». 25 % reserve wines.
Vinification: Manual picking and selection of the best grapes, which achieves the desired
balance. Pressing of whole bunches near the vineyard plots; guaranteeing
optimum quality. Vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks of
small capacity in order to respect the characteristics of each terroir and
obtain a range of atypical wines. A combination of « vin clair » and red wine
from the prestigious Grand Cru village of Bouzy produces a blended rosé of
great quality. Moderately dosed at 8 g/l to preserve all its freshness, fruit and
balance.
Ageing: Aged in the obscurity of our traditional cellars, at a constant
temperature of 12°C for 24 to 36 months.
Tasting Note
Aspect: Rose petal pink in colour, with persistent mousse and a chain of fine
bubbles.
Nose: Fresh and generous with intensely complex aromas of red fruit, wild
cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry.
Palate: The generosity of Pinot Noir and the freshness of Chardonnay create
perfect balance and aromas of delicate red fruit. A finish of superb
persistence and softness.
