Tasting Notes

This biodynamic Rosé de Saignée showcases vibrant crushed red berry fruit, layered with hints of cinnamon, blood orange, and pomegranate. Dried floral notes enhance its complexity. The meticulous maceration from old Pinot Noir vines lends richness and depth, resulting in a wine with refreshing acidity and remarkable character, despite challenging weather conditions.

Technical Info

Brand:Larmandier Bernier

Closure:Cork

Organic Certification:BUREAU VERITAS - CER-OPT19269-C202542

Country of Origin:France

Serving Temperature:6-8°C

Drink By:2027

Wine Ageing:36-Month ageing in bottle (traditional method)

Winemaking Style:Grower Champagne

Harvest:A damp start to the growing season was followed by a dry and extremely hot summer with some losses to frost, hail and, worryingly, heat damage at the end of June and early July. Potential alcohols averaged 10.6%, as high as in 2012, but acidity were generally higher than in 2018.

Winemaking:The grapes are allowed to macerate for a period before the juice is drawn off, providing the wine’s colour and much of its body and flavour. This saignée technique is now rare in Champagne, primarily as it is a demanding method of vinification and requires grapes with an excellent degree of maturity.

Viticulture:The Rosé de Saignée is drawn mostly from what are thought to be the oldest Pinot Noir vines in Vertus (45 years old), and one of this village’s very last 100% Pinot vineyards.

William Kelley

The Wine Advocate

“The new NV Extra-Brut Rosé de Saignée is a rich, gastronomic wine, delivering aromas of raspberries and cherries mingled with notions of kirsch, warm spices and petals. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with racy acids and a pretty pinpoint mousse, it's a vinous Champagne that would work well at table.”

Larmandier Bernier

Larmandier-Bernier, as lauded by Andrew Jefford in his seminal work "The New France," stands as one of Champagne's elite, ranking among the top 5 growers. At the helm of this meticulously managed estate are Pierre Larmandier and his partner Sophie. Their domain now spans 15 hectares, primarily situated in Vertus, at the southernmost tip of the Côte des Blancs. Anchored in the principles of biodynamic viticulture, their vineyards are a testament to their unwavering commitment to sustainability and the environment. Much like their contemporaries, Larmandier-Bernier continually evolves, ascending to ever greater heights. Their wines, ever since, have remained true to their signature vitality and profound minerality, and now, they possess an even greater depth, complexity, and layers of flavor. Larmandier-Bernier is a shining example of a producer unrelenting in their pursuit of excellence, where tradition and innovation converge to create remarkable Champagne.
