Description
What kind of wine it is
Antoine Bouvet Champagne Saignée de Bisseuil Rosé Extra Brut is a sparkling rosé wine with a bold character, an authentic expression of Pinot Noir. Made according to the principles of the Traditional Method, this Champagne stands out for its bright coral pink colour, enlivened by a fine perlage that enhances its vibrancy in the glass. On the nose, it reveals a clear aromatic profile, dominated by fragrant notes of red fruits that harmoniously intertwine with delicate hints of bread crust. On the palate, it is dry, consistent with the Extra Brut dosage, offering a balanced sip and a long-lasting finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the Bisseuil area, located within the renowned Champagne region in France. The grapes come from old vines over forty years old, cultivated following strict biodynamic methods to promote a sustainable agricultural approach. The geological and climatic identity of this area gives the Champagne a measured structure and a precise aromatic imprint. It is an artisan production with a limited release, designed to evolve over time with an estimated ageing potential of between five and ten years.
How it is produced
The winemaking process is based on the saignée technique, a method that allows for the concentration of colour and aromatic richness of the Pinot Noir before the secondary fermentation. Fermentation occurs spontaneously thanks to the action of indigenous yeasts, with minimal intervention in the cellar to preserve the purity of the fruit. Served at a temperature between 6 and 8°C, this Extra Brut pairs perfectly with delicate starters, shellfish, and dishes based on lean fish, and also proves to be an excellent companion for soft cheeses.

Antoine has clear ideas, despite his young age, and thanks to the grandfather Guy's peasant wisdom, processes his champagnes with great naturalness and thickness. The numbers are very limited, no more than 600 bottles per cuvee.
The heritage of vineyards and limited but of great quality. On average old plants that are managed with great sensitivity applying biodynamic methods. Same philosophy that applies in the cellar, spontaneous fermentation and the least possible intervention. Certainly one of those names that are establishing themselves among the "very young".
