NV Yann Alexandre Blanches Terres Rose 1er Cru Brut

Champagne, France

A composition of Chardonnay from the lieu-dit Les Blanches Terres in Coulommes-la-Montagne and Pinot Noir from the lieu-dit Saint Lié in the village Villedommange. 92% of the final blend is Chardonnay which is primarily fermented in stainless steel where it is allowed to go through full malolactic conversion, while 15% is vinified in oak without malolactic. The wine is aged approximately 4 months in stainless and blended with 15% reserve wine before it is combined with a final 8% still Pinot Noir wine. The wine then spends a minimum of 48 months en tirage before digorgement. Dosage is 6g/L. Notes of notes of grapefruit, strawberries, raspberries, roses, sweet spices and brioche are combined.
