The production of Drappier's Rosé de Saignée in magnum
Rosé de Saignée in magnum is a cuvée made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes grown on the limestone soils of the Jurassic Kimmeridgian in Urville, in the Aube region. These limestone terroirs give the wine a unique intensity, which is expressed through vibrant aromas and a firm structure.
This cuvée is made using the Saignée technique, which involves a three-day maceration to capture the red fruit aromas and bright color of Pinot Noir. Part of the cuvée is aged in oak casks, adding a layer of complexity to the whole. Malolactic fermentation, carried out to bring roundness, and the low dosage of 4 g/L highlight the purity and natural character of this cuvée. This champagne is low in sulfites, reinforcing its freshness and authenticity.
