THE BLEND
The Multi Vintage rosé, made with pinot noir, is created in two ways:
- White wine from pinot noir: after a quick pressing, and a fast separation of the skins, the juice is very pale and can be vinified as a white wine.
- Red wine from pinot noir is obtained by a prolonged maceration of the juice on the skins.
First pressings of mainly pinot noir with some chardonnay, the amount of which remains a secret. The blend is composed of reserve wines, 25 vintages, going back to 1985.

Tasting Note
Appearance:
The pink copper colour with a hint of raspberry when young evolves to salmon while ageing. The fine bubbles are due to a strict selection of the best grapes, perfectly controlled temperature in the cellar and very long ageing.
Nose:
The initial aromas of redcurrant and red fruits evolve to morello cherry, wild strawberry and violet while breathing in the glass. A touch of lemon denotes the discrete presence of chardonnay. With age, aromas tend towards dark fruits like dark cherr y, fig and blackberry.
Palate:
Reveals red fruit captured at their full freshness. The finish is bright and long.
Food Pairing
The Rose Première Cuvée is a great match to fine italian charcuterie, sushi, poultry or red fruit salad.
