A pretty, lifted, refreshing style of rosé Champagne.
Production
Grapes for this cuvée are grown in the lieu-dit of "Auche" around the village of Janvry which lies just to the west of Reims. Firstly they are pressed in small stainless steel vats, before being transferred to ceramic vats for 12 hours to allow for natural clarification of the juice. Next the clarified juice is moved to large steel containers where it remains for fermentation before finally being bottled for the secondary fermentation and lees ageing for 2.5 years and a further 6 months resting time after disgorgement.

Tasting notes
Fruity on the nose with some sweet bready and biscuity notes. More concentrated rich red fruit on the palate supported by good structure, energetic bubbles with fruit still lingering on the fnish
Food match
The structure means that this wine can deftly handle stronger flavours such as cured ham and salami. Those feeling adventurous could even try with more robust main courses too.

Meet the producer
The Cave Co-operative de Germigny was created in the early 60's by a handful of wingrowers who wanted to pool their resources and craft their own Champagne. Their aim was to celebrate the local terroir - the western slopes of the Montagne de Reims. Today the Co-operative works 115 hectares of vineyards covering 40 different crus, of which 5 are classified as Premier Cru. The Co-op members remain passionate about their shared values of respect for nature, protecting their heritage and working together.
