Champagne Rogge Cereser - Rosé de Saignée

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2020

(around 18 euros per bottle)

Radiant, sober and original bottle.

Aspect:

Bright and radiant colour.

Fine and dynamic bubbles.

Sensual tears.

Nose:

Vertiginous aromatic harmony.

The luxuriant fragrances of strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, blueberry and blackberry mingle with elegance, endlessly, heady signatures of the majority of Meunier (90%) and Pinot Noir (10%), carefully harvested by hand in the locality « La Colleterie », in Passy-Grigny, and then macerated for 72 to 96 hours, with regular pumping-over twice a day.

Later, outstanding spices, barely roasted, are modestly unveiled.


Palate:

Creamy caress at the opening, reinforced by the judicious fulfilment of the malolactic fermentation of the base wines and by the balanced dosage with 8 g/L of sugar added at disgorgement.

Graceful touches of exotic fruits underline the scents of red and black fruits, probably the reflection of the alcoholic fermentation of the base wines realised at low temperature (16 to 18 °C).

Lively finish, definitely thanks to the exclusive selection of the free-run juice during racking, after maceration.

Remarkable length on the palate.

With this Rosé de Saignée with a very good value for money, Benjamin Rogge, its producer, confirms his talent of wine grower signing a well-defined rosé made by maceration, splendid delicacy.

To taste as an aperitif or during a meal, with a red fruits tartar, for example.

Resolutely based on dynamism and creativity, the Champagne house Rogge Cereser offers a friendly welcome in its new facilities and its guest houses in La Colleterie, in Passy-Grigny. Since 2000, Benjamin Rogge cultivates his 10 hectares vineyard composed of the 3 champenois varietals, well-exposed on the right bank of the Marne Valley, with the real desire to reduce the environmental footprint. A gentle and accurate œnology gives birth each year to around 75,000 bottles of champagnes of pleasure, marketed under the brand created in 1997.
