Champagne Gatinois Brut Rosé
Aÿ is famous for Pinot Noir. Of all of the areas of Champagne, it is here that the ripeness and generosity of the varietal reaches the peak of perfection for sparkling wines. Champagne Gatinois’ Brut Rosé is all Aÿ Grand Cru fruit.
This cuvée is always an “assemblage” (blend) of three vintages, with the majority from the most recent vintage and around 30% of “réserve” wine from the two previous years. To obtain the rosé colour, 7% of still red wine Côteaux Champenois Grand Cru (Pinot Noir) is blended with 83% of Pinot Noir white juice giving a blend of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay.
