Description
What kind of wine it is
Philippe Fourrier Champagne Rosé de Saignée Brut is an elegant wine from the Philippe Fourrier estate. This blend combines Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in a fresh profile with a creamy texture. Crafted using the Traditional Method, it boasts a fine and persistent mousse that supports a pleasant acidity. On the nose and palate, pronounced notes of raspberry and blackberry stand out, accompanied by hints of white flowers, citrus, and caramel, culminating in a persistent and harmonious finish.
Where it comes from
The grapes are sourced from the vineyards of Baroville, located in the heart of the Côte des Bar, within the renowned Champagne region. The Philippe Fourrier estate cultivates its vines following the principles of organic farming, with a deep respect for the natural balance of the land. The unique terroir of this French area shapes the character of the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, giving the Champagne a distinctive stylistic identity and a solid structural balance.
How it is produced
The cuvée is made using the saignée technique, which allows for the extraction of a vibrant ruby colour and pronounced aromatic intensity from the skins. The secondary fermentation in the bottle, following the Traditional Method, is followed by four years of ageing on the lees. This slow evolution develops delicate spicy notes and a refined roundness on the palate. The Brut dosage perfectly balances the freshness, making it ideal to accompany seafood starters, fish dishes, and cheeses.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1847 in Baroville, the Philippe Fourrier house fully embodies the essence of the Côte des Bar. This refined Champagne Rosé de Saignée combines Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in a fine organic cuvée. Produced using the saignée method and enhanced by a meticulous 4-year ageing, the wine reveals a vibrant freshness. The excellent scores from Wine Spectator and James Suckling attest to the excellence of these fine bubbles, capable of transforming any convivial occasion into a sophisticated tasting experience.
