Jean Diot Premier Crayons de Vigne Rosé Champagne
The estate was founded in 1960 by Jean Diot in the Marne appellation of Champagne. Today, Jean's children run the estate focused on growing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Jean-Philippe is very careful about separate vinification of each cru prior to the assemblage.
The Brut Rosé champagne ages in the cellar for a minimum of 24 months after bottling. Disgorging occurs as late as possible to keep the freshness. The liqueur d’expedition is aged in oak for 3 to 5 months. As little dosage as possible (8.5g/l) and sulfite additions far below the usual champagne standards. Between 15% and 25% of reserve wines are used to perpetuate the quality and style of the Brut Rosé from one year to the next.
Beautiful salmon color with intense coppery reflections accompanied by abundant bubbles. Wine with aromas of cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant, its floral and toasted notes bring an elegant and gourmet aromatic sophistication. Fresh, fruity and fleshy on the palette with the delicacy and crispness of ripe red fruits. 55% Pinot Meunier, 30% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Noir
