CHAMPAGNE SERGE MATHIEU BRUT ROSÉ NV

This wine comes from the Côte des Bars and offers great value for money for a "pink" Champagne. It offers attractive red raspberry and strawberry flavours combined with a lively crispness to balance out the rich fruit.

VINEYARD
The Serge Mathieu estate is in Avirey-Lingey in the heart of the Côte des Bars and he owns 12 hectares mainly of Pinot Noir (80%) and some Chardonnay (20%). The vines have an average age of 23 years. They work hard to develop the vineyards and grow the best grapes possible, using techniques such as cover crops and careful cultivation to maintain the vineyard balance. The quality of the fruit certainly shows through in the wines.

GRAPE VARIETIES
Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay

VINIFICATION
The grapes are manually harvested in 50 kg, free-draining boxes to minimise damage and maintain the whole bunches. The grapes are then carefully pressed, plot by plot, using a pneumatic press. There is no cold maceration. Fermentation then takes place under temperature control after which the wine is allowed to go through complete malolactic fermentation.

The still wines are aged in a combination of stainless-steel and enamel tanks. The wines are then bottled, go through the second fermentation and allowed to age on lees for between three and five years.

The ripeness and quality of the fruit means that each cuvée requires minimal levels of dosage, allowing the fruit flavours to show to their best.

TASTING NOTE
The Brut Rosé is a traditional blend that uses some red wine from the estate. It is delicious for its clear-cut fruit showing lovely red raspberry and strawberry flavours combined with a toastiness and lively crispness.
