Description
Champagne Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut, 12.5% ABV, produced by Maxime Blin. 100% Pinot Noir, 0.75 L bottle. A Rosé de Saignée born from the passion of the Blin family, who have cultivated the vine with love and dedication since 1947. Maceration rosé. Malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. No cold fermentation. No filtration. Aged for 72 months. A wine that expresses all the finesse of Pinot Noir, with aromas reminiscent of strawberries and cherries.
They weren’t on the same career path yet but Claire and Maxime had already started to lay the first stones, gradually building the same ambition and vision. "It always felt very natural working together. We balance each other out, we work differently but we share the same values: a passion for wine, creativity, good food and wine, love for the land, good hospitality and a real focus on the environment," they say in unison.
2012 was a milestone moment in their lives: their long-awaited and longed-for twin daughters were born. Naturally, that changed their lives. Claire explains: "My brother had decided to join the family winery. And I had a growing desire to work on a project with Maxime. Naturally, when Clémence and Olivia were born [and inspired the Clé d’Eole vintage to be born too], I started splitting my time between the two businesses. Until I returned full time in 2021."
Over time, Claire and Maxime worked together to progress, revolutionise, experiment, establish and understand their "fantastic playground". New vintages appeared, fuelled by new winemaking methods and changes to farming techniques. The vineyard switched to organic farming and was approved in 2021. A holiday home was built "to have the opportunity to share and get together." The brand’s identity and gourmet character came into its own. Read more
