The Brut Rosé from Lichtenwald Frères is made in collaboration with the wine house SCEV Marc Chauvet from Rilly-la-Montagne in Champagne. The Chauvet family has been growing Champagne here since the 16th century; today the winery is run by winemaker Clotilde Chauvet and her brother Nicolas. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, this festive rosé Champagne bears the 2020 vintage.
Taste
Festive, harmonious, fresh and balanced — with aromas of red fruits such as currant, raspberry and grenadine.
Production
Before pre-clarification, the grapes undergo maceration: the skins remain in contact with the must, so that the natural pigments give the wine its characteristic pink colour while also releasing a broad palette of aromas. As prescribed by the appellation for Champagne, the wine then undergoes its second fermentation in the bottle (méthode traditionnelle).
Pairs with
This fruity, fresh rosé Champagne is versatile: as an aperitif as well as with light starters, grilled fish or seafood. Its fruit and berry notes harmonise well with strawberry or raspberry desserts.
In context
