Celebration |
The world’s first decoding of the vine genome from the PINOT NOIR variety – September 2007. |
Composition |
90% GRANDS NOIRS raised in oak from the Forest of Argonne, Champagne’s historic forest. 10% Aÿ red. |
To the eye |
This magnificent cuvee is crowned with fine white foam. A pink colour with coppery highlights, deep and delicious. |
Noze |
Red and black fruits against a slightly “smoky” background. Preserved cherries and raspberries set the tone, and then there is an aromatic explosion: pepper and cloves, touches of plum and an intense floral bouquet underlined by wine and a slight touch of wood. |
To the palate |
Flexible and fresh, the flavour opens up to a wine of textures, tender on the palate. This rich, balanced and harmonious cuvee is a fine example of purity. The long, chalky finish suggests substance and the fine flavour of Pinot Noir. |
Tasting & serving |
With its assured character CODE NOIR ROSE celebrates PINOT NOIR in a straightforward manner. It is a distillation of its origins and the champagne-making method. It is fully autonomous in its sense of harmony and purity. It should be served with tender, powerful and pure dishes to maintain all of its magic. A fillet of beef lightly cooked and without reducing to sauce, could do it justice. Serve from 8°C. |
