Rosé wine

This Crémant de Bourgogne Rosé Bailly Lapierre is obtained by maceration of Pinot Noir (85%) and Gamay (15%). The first grape brings the “vinous” character and the second very characteristic red fruit aromas. Wine of pleasure par excellence, it offers a nice freshness, all in finesse, with a light foam and an airy mouth ... Patient aged on average 12 months bottles placed on slats, in the constant natural freshness and the hushed light of the quarry underground limestone (during this period there is the birth of effervescence). The Caves of Bailly Lapierre, 430 winemakers bring their grapes to the cellar. The production rests in the immense underground galleries of an old quarry limestone. Did you know ? The cellar of Bailly-Lapierre invented the concept of crémant-de-bourgogne

Champagne made a name for itself through the wines of large negociants - producers who buy fruit from the vineyards of other growers and blend many lots together. The past several decades have seen the rise of the "Grower-Producer" in Champagne. This label belongs to producers who are growing all of the fruit for the wine they produce, keeping their own product to vinifiy rather than sell it to the larger houses. Look for the "RM" on the label, indicating that the winery is a Recoltant-Manipulant, or Grower-Producer, and not a Negociant-Manipulant (NM), or larger house. Fine wine can be made in either way, but RMs produce products that are inevitably more indicative of terrior. The Hebrart family has been making Champagne under their family name since the 1960's. The wines are complex and refined, but easy to drink and enjoy. This rose is entirely sourced from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards in Mareiul Sur Ay, a Premier Cru village in Champagne of the highest quality (many argue that the Village should be upgraded to Grand Cru status). Roses, candied rhubarb, strawberries and cream, and almond skin. 91 Points Robert Parker, 92 Points Wine Enthusiast
