Single‑parcel rosé de saignée from Celles‑sur‑Ource: 100% Pinot Noir, extra‑brut, with 24–48h maceration and around 36 months on lees; vivid red‑fruit depth over chalky precision.
Crafted using the traditional saignée method. Hand-harvested grapes are carefully selected to ensure the highest quality. Vinified and aged without added sulphur. A blend of base vintage and solera reserve wines dating back to 2011. A portion of the grapes undergo maceration for 24-48 hours, the rsulting wine is then aged for 36 months sur lattes. Wow!
