This summer, embrace the radiant charm of Champagne Drappier Rosé de Saignée, a true expression of Pinot Noir in its most vibrant and fruit-forward form. Crafted using the saignée method, this exquisite rosé undergoes a gentle three-day maceration, drawing out its striking pink hue and generous aromatic complexity. The result? A Champagne that perfectly captures the essence of sun-ripened red fruits, making it the ideal companion for warm-weather celebrations.
Rooted in eight generations of winemaking heritage, Rosé de Saignée is produced with 100% Pinot Noir from the Jurassic Kimmeridgian limestone soils of Urville. Drappier’s commitment to sustainability and minimal intervention shines through in every sip—only the first press is used, gravity replaces pumping, and malolactic fermentation occurs naturally, with no filtration or artificial discoloration. Aged on the lees for 36 months, this Champagne offers a perfect balance of freshness and depth.
With an intense bouquet of wild strawberries, cherries, and raspberries, Rosé de Saignée delights the senses from the first pour. On the palate, it is warm and satiny, enhanced by subtle spiced notes and stone fruit accents, culminating in a crisp, lingering finish.
Perfect Pairings for Summer:
Ideal as an aperitif, this Champagne shines alongside antipasti, salmon en papillote, grilled pink lamb, or a fresh strawberry salad. Serve chilled at 7°C and savour its pure, sun-kissed flavours—effortlessly elegant and undeniably refreshing.
This season, let Champagne Drappier Rosé de Saignée bring a taste of summer’s bounty to every occasion.
