A demanding method for a gourmet rosé

Champagne Rosé Iconic is a rosé de saignée: the Pinot Noir juices are left in contact with the skin for a carefully controlled length of time, to extract color and aroma while preserving elegance and freshness. This process brings structure, fruitiness and intensity to the cuvée. The blend is based on a selection of emblematic terroirs: Les Riceys, Avize, Aÿ and Vertus.

• 45% Pinot Noir - Provides structure, power and aromatic intensity.
• 40% Chardonnay - Provides freshness, tension and elegance.
• 15% Meunier - Adds suppleness and fruity roundness.

The cuvée includes 30% reserve wines to ensure consistency and constant aromatic complexity. It benefits from a minimum of 3 years' cellar ageing under optimal conditions at Domaine de Ludes. Dosage is controlled at less than 7 g/L, emphasizing the balance between freshness and delicacy.
