Champagne Maurice Delabaye et Fils - Rosé de Saignée Premier Cru Brut
3*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
“A delicious, fruity, and tangy wine!”
“It has the color and aromas of cherries—the fleshy fruit, the pit, followed by a cascade of small red berries: it has a ‘Pinot’ character.” The palate is in perfect harmony, standing out for its power, complexity, and length. The secret of this rosé? Our tasters have partly revealed it: “a saignée rosé, I’d bet.” It is made by macerating black grapes. Here, Pinot Noir (60%) and Meunier, sourced from old vineyards in Cumières. Left in vats for 3 days, they contribute to the harmony of this champagne, which one juror could easily see paired with duck breast with cherries.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2025).

The nose is expressive, with aromas of strawberries. After some time in the glass, notes of Nemours poppies emerge. The finish features a hint of pomegranate syrup.
Palate
A crisp, clean attack with excellent tart fruitiness. Beautiful structure, excellent acidity.

About the estate:
A family-run winery established in 1921 in Cumières. Maurice Delabaye became a grower-producer and launched his brand in 1959.

He is supported by his sons Victor (since 2014) and Yann (since 2022).
