Rosé de Saignée

Rosé de saignée: intensity through maceration

Rosé de saignée — or macerated rosé — derives its colour not from a blend, but from a brief maceration (a few hours) of the must with the skins of red grapes. It is the natural pigments in the Pinot grapes that colour the juice, before the vat is ‘bled’ to retain only this tinted juice.

Rarer and more difficult to master than blended rosé, saignée rosé produces champagnes with deep, intense and vinous hues, rich in aromas of ripe red fruits. A cuvée full of character, perfect for the table and gourmet pairings: discover our favourites and enjoy purchasing rosé de saignée from our range of champagnes.
