Description
What kind of wine it is
Selosse Pajon Champagne Liberty Rosé d’Assemblage is a refined wine, the result of a meticulous blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. Produced using the Traditional Method, this zero dosage wine stands out for its fine and persistent perlage, which enhances its lively coral pink hue.

Where it comes from
This label originates in France, in Avize, a commune located in the heart of the prestigious Champagne region. The Selosse Pajon winery cultivates a heritage of historic vineyards, situated in privileged and highly suitable locations. The unique characteristics of the soil allow the grapes to ripen, expressing deep minerality and pronounced freshness. The authentic expression of this specific terroir ensures the Champagne possesses notable elegance and a splendid capacity to evolve over the years.
How it is produced
The process strictly follows the principles of the Traditional Method, which involves the essential secondary fermentation in the bottle. The captivating rosé colour is the result of adding a small portion of red wine made from Pinot Noir grapes, using the technique known as rosé d’assemblage. To enhance the expressive purity of the fruit, the winery opts for zero dosage, avoiding the addition of sugars after disgorgement. This production choice preserves the original gustatory tension, resulting in a vibrant, direct, and highly persistent glass.

Produced according to the traditional method with zero dosage, it releases an extremely fine perlage and lively aromas of red fruits, offering a fresh, savoury and persistent palate.
