Boonen Champagne's CPTS Rosé is the lively, fruit-forward version of the famous "Ça Passe Tout Seul."
Crafted with the same spirit of conviviality and technical precision, this Rosé version showcases the rich, luscious character of Pinot Meunier. It is an unpretentious champagne, designed for those seeking body, crispness, and exceptional drinkability, whether for a festive aperitif or a meal with friends.
The production of the CPTS Rosé cuvée
This blended rosé derives its color and fruity character from a meticulous red wine vinification process carried out on the estate’s old Pinot Meunier vines.
Indulgence and Precision
- Blend: A combination of the three Champagne grape varieties, complemented by the addition of Pinot Meunier red wine for structure and fruit.
- Vinification: Processed in temperature-controlled tanks to preserve the freshness of the primary aromas.
- Malolactic Fermentation: Fully completed to ensure a supple texture and a full-bodied attack.
- Aging: Aged for 24 months in the cellar to harmonize the effervescence and body.
- Dosage: Brut (6 g/l), a perfect balance to support the crispness of the red fruit without heaviness.
The terroir: The Festigny setting
The grapes come from the Cirque de Festigny, a natural amphitheater located in the Flagot Valley (left bank of the Marne Valley). The soil, composed of a mixture of clay-limestone and sandy-siliceous material, is an ideal terroir for Meunier. This unique geology gives the champagne a vinous foundation while retaining great lightness and a hint of salty minerality on the finish.
