Carmine red in the glass, the André Jacquart Rosé de Saignée Experience Brut Nature NV Premier Cru is comprised of estate-grown fruit from the Doyard family’s 60-acre farm maintained under France’s strict sustainable “culture raisonnee” guidelines. It’s a vivacious blend of 80% Pinot Noir from a small parcel located within the Vertus Premier Cru and 20% Chardonnay from the Le Mesnil sur Oger Grand Cru—offering up an enveloping bouquet of tart pie cherry, alpine strawberries, brioche, and citrus notes. In the mouth, a fine mousse wends its way around linear acidity, releasing energy in concentric rings, laced in blood orange, wet dough, and mineral splendor. 12.0% ABV | Sample
