A beautiful salmon rosé. Its nose opens with aromas of small red fruits, strawberries, raspberries then evolve towards citrus and toasted notes. Its mouth, chiselled, all lace and elegance, recalls these fruits without losing finesse or length. 100% Pinot Noir from Verzenay Grand Cru - Montagne de Reims.

The experience of Grands Crus is felt in the method but also in the character. Élysé Brigandat seeks to capture balance from the start of vinification. Precision work on the outline, where tension and minerality draw the contours of Valentin Leflaive Champagne de Lieux. Ageing on lees in vats or Burgundy barrels, which have been used to age the Grands Crus of Puligny-Montrachet from Maison Olivier Leflaive, helps to reveal all the complexity of the Champagne.

"Disgorged in October 2023 with six grams per liter dosage, the 2020 Verzenay 20 6.0 possesses a delicate, perfumed bouquet of raspberries, lemon, spices and herbs. It has a medium to full-bodied, vinous and round palate framed by a delicately phenolic structure and a long, fruity finish. Drink to 2034."

"A delicious and seductive rosé with crunchy forest-berry character. On the nose aromas of dried herbs, forest berries and wheat. It’s precise and intense, with a harmonious structure and plenty of energy and drive on the palate. Succulent and tangy finish with length. Disgorged in 2023. Dosage 6g/L. Drink or hold."
