Where it comes from
This wine originates in Courteron, in the heart of the renowned Champagne region. The Fleury estate manages its own vineyards using strict biodynamic and sustainable farming practices. The production philosophy focuses on quality starting from the vineyard, allowing the most authentic expression of the terroir. Thanks to this meticulous care, the Pinot Noir grapes offer a sip of great depth, ensuring an excellent ageing potential that extends from five to ten years.
How it is produced
The production process follows the strict principles of the Traditional Method, using the saignée technique to obtain a true Rosé de Saignée. The Pinot Noir grapes undergo targeted skin maceration before pressing, a crucial stage to impart the must with its colour intensity and aromatic nuances. Vinification continues in temperature-controlled tanks, where malolactic fermentation takes place. Finally, a very low dosage defines a dry and extremely balanced profile.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1895, the Fleury Père & Fils estate enhances its twenty-five hectares through the excellence of biodynamic practices. The company philosophy focuses on vineyard work to ensure superior quality. Made from pure Pinot Noir using the ancient saignée method, the Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut boasts a dosage of only 2 g/l. Thanks to this meticulous artisanal care, the cuvée has been awarded an impressive 93 points by Decanter.
