About this Wine

92 POINTS - Wine Spectator
"Sleek and finely-knit with firm acidity and a chalky underpinning married to a lovely range of steeped raspberry wild strawberry and dried fig fruit flavors. Hints of salted almond blood orange zest and smoke play on the finish. Pinot Noir Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay."

92 POINTS - Jeb Dunnuck
"With the 2018 vintage as its base the NV Champagne Sauvage Rosé is salmon-colored with a copper tinge. Historically this cuvée poured a very deep color but they have dialed back on the color and the power working toward a more refined and elegant style. This edition is a silky expression with attractive ripe fresh red berries roses and croissants. Rounded with a refined mousse that enhances the creamy texture it offers notes of fresh apricot and juicy tangerine fruit on the finish."

Rose Sauvage meaning Wild Rose in French is not your typical Champagne Rose. A high proportion of Pinot Noir results in a bold deep-hued rosé and a palate that is structured full-bodied and yet distinctly elegant. This unique fruity Champagne carefully crafted from over 100 crus is guaranteed to delight all the senses.

On the palate:

A brisk original and juicy wine which simultaneously offers black cherry blackberry pink grapefruit and blood orange notes. This structure and fruitiness are enriched with warm spicy notes of Espelette pepper tea and liquorice.

Wines from Champagne

Associated with luxury, celebration, Champagne is where the world’s most prized sparkling wine originates. In the past it was very common for people to confuse the term Champagne and sparkling wine as they are so synonymous. By EU law however, only sparkling wine made in the Champagne region and under strict quality standards can legally be called by that name.

Sparkling wine produced the Champagne way, goes through secondary fermentation in the bottle. This is known as méthode champenoise or outside of Champagne it is called the traditional method. When the yeast inside the bottle have finished working, they die and become lees. The lees remain in contact with the wine until the winemaker decides to take them out, creating texture, richness, and complexity in the wine.

In comparison, the other popular way of fermenting sparkling wine is called the Charmat method where the fermentation happens en masse in a large tank and extended lees contact does not happen. . This is cheaper and rather than emphasizing richness and complexity, the tank method enhances clean fruit and aromatics, making wines that are youthful and easy drinking.

The principal grapes that go into making champagne include: Chardonnay (white), Pinot Noir (red) and Pinot Meunier (red). A Champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay will be labelled Blanc de blancs while ones comprised of only red grapes will be called Blanc de noirs. Whether it be white or rose however, most Champagne is made from a mix of both red and white grapes.
