Champagne Carbon Rosé

Each bottle is wrapped in a layer of carbon fibre, a revolutionary process that took four years of research and development to perfect. The production is incredibly labour-intensive, requiring 21 precise steps over an entire week to complete each bottle. This innovative approach combines cutting-edge materials technology with traditional champagne-making, creating a truly distinctive presentation that reflects the modern ingenuity of this 5th generation family operation.

This rosé champagne is crafted from 50% chardonnay, 25% pinot noir, and 25% pinot meunier - a classic champagne blend with chardonnay taking the lead. The chardonnay provides the crisp citrus backbone and minerality, while pinot noir contributes the salmon colour and red fruit characteristics like strawberry and cherry. Pinot meunier adds roundness and approachability, creating a harmonious balance that's both elegant and expressive.

The oak ageing process adds complexity and depth beyond typical champagne production methods. This treatment contributes subtle toast notes that complement the bright fruit flavours, creating layers of flavour that develop on the palate. The oak influence is carefully balanced to enhance rather than overpower the delicate fruit characteristics, resulting in a more sophisticated and food-friendly champagne with greater ageing potential.

The 9 g/L dosage places this champagne in the 'extra brut' category, making it very dry with barely perceptible sweetness. This minimal dosage allows the pure fruit flavours and terroir characteristics to shine through without any cloying sweetness. The restrained sugar level enhances the wine's crisp, refreshing character and makes it an excellent aperitif or food pairing wine, particularly with seafood or light appetisers.
