Description
Description
Solessence Rosé comprises Chardonnay (45%), Meunier (40%) and Pinot noir (15%), and is based on a single vintage blended with 40% reserve wine. The addition of colour and texture comes from two different sources: 10% skin-contact Meunier and 5% Coteaux Champenois Rouge (still red wine) from Pinot noir, with all fruit sourced from seven villages across the Côteaux Sud d’Épernay (Pierry, Moussy, Épernay), the Vallée de la Marne (Mardeuil, Dizy, Boursault) and the Côte des Blancs (Vertus).The soils are mostly flinty clay on chalky subsoil, and vinification occurs predominantly in tank with 30% in oak barrels.
The current release is based on the 2020 vintage, and is aged for 2 years. Disgorged in October 2022, the dosage is set at 2 g/L.
Taste
The bouquet is just as captivating as the robe—glowing a deep and mesmerising coral—resplendent with aromas of roses in full bloom, bright stone fruit, tangerine, poached pear and raisin bread. Initially refreshing and brisk with dazzling streaks of chalky minerality, a laser-focussed acidity lifts the fruit out and upwards, deepening the mid-palate into flavours of red fruits, juicy watermelon, apricot, quince and lemon. Meunier and Coteaux Champenois Rouge lend a savoury, textural impression on the generous finish, culminating in a gastronomic and finessed experience that is sure to delight all tastebuds.
Glass match
Best enjoyed from the Lehmann G. Basset, Hommage 72 Ultralight machine-made glass.
Food match
Incredibly food friendly, enjoy with salmon sashimi; crisp and flaky traditional spanakopita; a hearty bowl of beef bourguignon served with roast potatoes; or a sliver of Comté to close a meal.
