“ This salmon-pink rosé with coppery highlights blends 57% macerated Pinot Noir and 43% Chardonnay partially aged in oak barrels. This yields an intense and subtle palette of rare complexity: red currant, blackcurrant, brandied fruit, candied citrus, rhubarb, and a hint of mint rise from the glass. Raspberry and candied fruits are accompanied by toasty wood notes in a structured, harmonious, and long palate, with a tangy finish. A superb rosé that will hold its own at the table.”(Le Guide des Vins Hachette 2021)

Traditional: The stems are removed from the Pinot Noir grapes, and only the berries are macerated in a tank. After a day and a half, the tank is "bled" to extract only the juice that has turned pink (46%). The resulting wine is vinified and aged like a dry Chardonnay or Pinot Noir.

Aged partly in casks (28%) and oak barrels (33%)

Selected Estate (An estate or winery that has impressed us with one or more of its wines, though we are unable to offer a general assessment of the style of its entire range)

About the estate:

In the heart of the Sézanne region, brothers Vincent, Thomas, and Florent Collet have been breathing new life into the family estate since the start of this century, working with the 15 vineyards located around Fontaine-Denis. The wines are well-crafted, and the Anthime line—which is aged in oak—stands out from the rest.

About the wine:

This salmon-pink rosé with coppery highlights blends 57% macerated Pinot Noir and 43% Chardonnay, partially aged in oak barrels. This yields an intense yet subtle palette of rare complexity: red currant, blackcurrant, brandied fruit, candied citrus, rhubarb, and a hint of mint rise from the glass. Raspberry and candied fruits are accompanied by toasty oak notes in a structured, harmonious, and long-lasting palate, with a tangy finish. A superb rosé that will hold its own at the table.

About the estate:

In the early 20th century, the Collet family sold their grapes to wine merchants. René Collet, a member of a wine cooperative, launched his own champagne in 1973. His three sons, Thomas, Vincent, and Florent, took over the business between 2001 and 2011 and decided to produce their own vintages. They own 5 hectares of vineyards in the Sézanne region.

About the estate:

Domaine Collet has a wonderful history: coming from a modest family of winegrowers and farmers in Fontaine-Denis, René Collet simply decided to launch his own brand in 1973. With the help of a large cooperative, he developed the estate by acquiring and planting Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines, ideally situated in the Fontaine-Denis region. The early 2000s brought changes: two of Mr. Collet’s three sons joined the company, and a new winery and barrel cellar were built.
