Coessens Largillier Brut Rose de Saignee, Champagne, France 2022

Since 2006, Jerome Coessens has crafted Champagne from his family’s prized 2.25-hectare parcel, Largillier, in Ville-sur-Arce (Aube). Planted exclusively to old-vine Pinot Noir on Kimmeridgian limestone and clay, this south-facing slope delivers power, elegance, and precision. Each cuvee—Fruit, Flower, Substance, and Mineral—captures a different facet of the terroir, vinified separately for purity and expression. With minimal oak, Coessens wines shine with clarity of place and vintage.

From a single vineyard called Largillier; from a single varietal : Pinot Noir and from a single vintage. For this wine we use grapes from the plot we call: SUBSTANCE. A perfectly balanced wine with great elegance and flavours of red berries and raspberry eau-de-vie finishing on the  heady notes of cherry stones. Bold on the attack (thanks to the clay in the KM2 soil) ; refreshing with marked minerality and a long finish (thanks to the limestone content of the KM2 soil).

Perfect to enjoy as an aperitif and also a marvellous accompaniment to grilled lobster, salmon, stuffed capon and also with Chaource cheese.
