The Wine
It is always a good sign when a rosé champagne states its identity in a distinctively different way from its white
counterparts, as this one does. The generosity of 2019 (52% of the blend – the rest is reserve wines) serves it well. Even with just 4 gm. of dosage, the wine has an exquisite balance between fruit and earth. This wine approachess perfection in pink champagne.
The Winery
We are delighted to introduce fans of boutique Champagnes to this ambitious, 12-acre estate. Géraldine Lacourte and her husband Richard Desvignes took it over from her parents in 2007 back when the family wines were made through the local co-op. They left that co-op in 2012, began organic conversion in 2017 (certified since 2020) and are now almost finished with the further conversion to biodynamic viticulture. They present a compelling range of wines designed to showcase the myriad possibilities offered by their 1er Cru vineyards in Écueil.
The house-style is unabashadly extroverted, with most of the wines reveling in their generous fruit, effortlessly balanced by their prevalent dryness.
