Champagne Fleury Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut is crafted from 30-year-old vines and produced using the rare, traditional method, which imparts deep color and rich fruit expression. Certified DEMETER and Organic Agriculture, this cuvée reflects the estate’s dedication to biodynamic principles and natural winemaking. A vibrant, expressive Rosé Champagne with true authenticity and character.
Champagne Fleury Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut is one of the rare Rosé Champagnes crafted using the traditional “saignée” method — a short maceration of the grapes before pressing on a classic Champagne press. This technique brings an exceptional depth of fruit and natural color to the wine. A signature cuvée of the house, it is made from 100% Pinot Noir, with an extra-brut dosage. In the glass, it shows a seductive bouquet of fresh red fruits, blackcurrants, and plum pie. The palate combines vibrant fruit richness with a fine vinous character. Aging potential: 3 to 5 years. Perfect pairings: vanilla blancmange with raspberry compote, sea bream carpaccio with strawberry and lime, scallops with caramelized leeks in Champagne and curry.
At Champagne Fleury, harmony is at the heart of everything — from the vines to the wines. Pressing and vinification follow carefully developed house methods that preserve and enhance the pure fruit character of each grape. Bottling is timed on “fruit days” to align with natural rhythms. The Fleury press house beautifully blends tradition and innovation. Two classic wooden vertical presses (each holding up to 4000 kg) are still in use, alongside a modern automatic press installed in 2004. Grapes are handpicked and pressed the same day, with the must transferred by gravity into dedicated vats — with each vineyard parcel vinified separately, allowing for detailed expression of terroir. In 2007, large oak foudres were introduced for reserve wines, while a return to aging in 65 smaller oak barrels, inspired by the techniques of Robert Fleury in 1929, brings additional depth to select cuvées. The wines from the estate’s oldest vines (30 to 45 years) are reserved for the house’s most expressive bottlings. Among them is Champagne Fleury Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut — an iconic cuvée of the domaine. Made from 30-year-old Pinot Noir vines using the rare saignée method, this vibrant and deeply flavored Rosé reflects the house’s mastery of natural, biodynamic winemaking. If you seek a Champagne with true personality and authenticity, don’t miss the chance to buy Champagne Fleury Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut — a signature expression of the Fleury style.
