Maceration, which is not a frequent choice for Champagne, gives Larmandier-Bernier's Rosé de Saignée both subtle and fruity flavors. This cuvée is made from Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris grapes, macerated for several days—a technique rarely used in traditional Champagne production. The aging process lasts at least 2 years. Rosé de Saignée is a gastronomic Champagne that blends raspberry and cherry flavors with hints of kirsch, warm spices, and petals. Layered on the palate, with bright acidity and a precise mousse, this is a very interesting rosé that goes beyond the usual rosé Champagne.
Larmandier-Bernier is one of the finest estates in the Côte des Blancs. The Larmandier family farms organically, harvesting late and vinifying their wines in oak barrels. The result is full-bodied, terroir-driven Champagnes. In a region where many wines can still be dull and brittle, Larmandier-Bernier showcases the richness and texture that great Champagne can achieve. Their success is driven by many factors: biodynamic viticulture, old vines, a prime location, minimal intervention in the winery, and careful vineyard management. Any wine bearing this family’s label is marked by consistency, quality, and deserves special attention.
