Champagne Rosé Roselie Roger Coulon 75 cl

Description

History

Roger Coulon is a winery run by the Coulon family, which aims to enhance their vineyards in the Montagne de Reims, classified as Premier Cru. Founded in 1806, the company has vineyards in 5 villages with different soils and microclimates which contribute to the aromatic richness of the grapes. The vines have an average age of 38 years and there are almost 100 different parcels, all Premier Cru. The oldest parcel was planted in 1924 and a particular parcel called “Les Linguets” was planted ungrafted in 1953 on sandy soil which prevents the development of phylloxera.

Grapes used

Pinot Meunier 100%

Production method

The sparkling wine in question is produced according to the champenoise or classic method, which involves two different fermentations: the first in vats and the second in the bottle, thanks to which the wine develops carbon dioxide which will give rise to the bubbles. The rosé color is given by the resting of the wine with its skins at a controlled temperature, which allows, in addition to the extraction of color, also to extract important aromatic components from the skins.

Alcohol content

12.5%

Tasting notes

Onion skin pink color with persistent perlage. On the nose notes of small red fruits, orange blossom, bread crust and notes of butter and pastry. On the palate powerful, broad and enveloping with the perlage, it reveals beautiful notes of red fruit on the finish.

Possible combinations

Excellent in combination with raw fish, tuna tartare, sushi and fries, but also with mortadella and other cured meats or with medium-aged cheese platters.
