Larmandier-Bernier Rose de Saignee Premier Cru Extra Brut, Champagne, France NV

A distinctive, character-driven rose from Larmandier-Bernier, one of Champagne’s benchmark grower domaines and a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture. Unlike most rose Champagnes, which are made by blending red and white wines, this cuvée is crafted through the traditional saignée method, allowing the grape skins to impart color, texture and depth during maceration. Sourced from old vines in Vertus, the blend of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Gris delivers vivid aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and ripe cherry, layered with rose petals, warm spice and subtle savory notes. The palate is generous yet focused, with fine structure, lively freshness and a long, mouthwatering finish. With just 2 g/L dosage, this is a serious, gastronomic rose Champagne that brings together the domaine’s signature precision with beautifully expressive red-fruit character.
