The production of Pierre Moncuit's Henriette Rosé Grand Cru champagne
The Henriette Rosé Grand Cru cuvée is a blend of approximately 88% Chardonnay from the Grand Cru terroir of Mesnil-sur-Oger and 12% Pinot Noir Grand Cru from Bouzy, vinified in red. This combination of grape varieties offers a perfect balance between the freshness of Chardonnay and the depth of Pinot Noir.
The wine is vinified in stainless steel vats to preserve the purity and natural expression of the grapes. After three years of aging in the cellar, this cuvée achieves a perfect balance between freshness and complexity. With a dosage of around 8 g/L, the champagne retains a beautiful liveliness while revealing a soft roundness.
The terroir
This cuvée highlights the exceptional qualities of the grapes harvested in the Grand Cru terroirs of Mesnil-sur-Oger and Bouzy. The terroir of Mesnil-sur-Oger, located in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, is renowned for its chalky soils, which give Chardonnay exceptional minerality and great elegance. In Bouzy, on the Montagne de Reims, Pinot Noir flourishes on rich limestone soils, producing powerful, generous wines full of character.
