Champagne Geoffroy Rosé de Saignée Brut 1er Cru NV
Champagne Geoffroy is one of the very rare Champagne Houses that makes its rosé Champagne by “leeching” during maceration of Pinot Noir. After a few hours in contact with the skin of the grape, the juice acquires a superb and natural colour, becoming intoxicated with subtle yet deep red fruit aromas. The Geoffroy Rosé de saignée is a rarity in champagne. Made from 100% Pinot Noir the nose of this Champagne is a spring bouquet: rose, wild strawberry, raspberry and later blackberry, all combine together perfectly. The mouth follows on from the nose, with the structure of the Pinot Noir leaving at a convincing vinosity at the finish. By virtue of its freshness, this rosé de saignée Champagne is best enjoyed young to take full advantage of the aromas of small, fresh and crisp red berries.
