Description
What type of wine it is
Pascal Machet's Champagne Premier Cru Rosé Brut is a charming rosé wine crafted using the Traditional Method in the famous French region. This Premier Cru Champagne is created from a sophisticated blend of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay grapes, revealing a vinous, structured and exquisitely elegant profile. On the palate, it is distinguished by a pleasant smoothness, balanced by fresh citrus notes and a delicate tannic texture that provides a persistent and harmonious finish. Thanks to its aromatic profile dominated by notes of small summer red fruits, this wine pairs perfectly with tasty appetisers, delicate white meats and fruit-based desserts.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the small and historic village of Vaudemange, nestled in the heart of the renowned Champagne region in France. The family estate carries on viticulture with extreme dedication and artisanal care, enhancing every single plot to honour its prestigious Premier Cru status. This deep attention to the vineyards ensures the harvest of high-quality fruit, essential for creating an intense and deeply authentic aromatic profile.
How it is produced
Winemaking begins with a careful harvest, followed by the first fermentation of the musts to create the base wines. The secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, following the rigorous and meticulous dictates of the Traditional Method, an essential step for the development of its fine and persistent perlage. A fundamental characteristic of the production of this artisanal cuvée is the addition of a portion of red wine to the blend before the second fermentation, a technique that gives the wine its brilliant and characteristic salmon colour. After resting on the lees, the process concludes with a precise Brut dosage, which defines the perfect taste balance without altering the fruit's natural freshness.
History and Interesting Facts

On the production side, the company pursues a reasoned and responsible viticulture, designed to respect natural cycles and follow the rules of the AOP Champagne. In the vineyard, work is marked by precision and the enhancement of parcel identity through three complementary terroirs: Vaudemange, in the Montagne de Reims, Premier Cru predominantly Chardonnay on chalky soils that bring freshness and minerality; Merlaut, in the Coteaux Vitryats, characterized by clay-limestone soils that give liveliness and fruity aromas; and Essoyes, in the Côte des Bar, where marls, limestone, and clay give structure to the wines. The harvesting of the grapes takes place via manual harvest to preserve the quality of the fruit, with the goal of obtaining authentic cuvées faithful to a vision of sustainable production. Read more
