The “7” marks 2007, the first year the domaine made a rosé, and the label nods to a famous perfume. The blend is 60% Chardonnay, 25% Chenin Blanc and 15% Pinot Noir from the domaine’s hand-harvested vineyards on the clay-limestone slopes around La Digne-d’Aval.
The grapes are pressed gently and slowly, and only the first juice, the cœur de presse, is kept. The first fermentation runs in temperature-controlled tanks and the second in bottle. The wine then ages at least 12 months in the domaine’s cellars before disgorgement and a light final dosage.
Pale salmon pink. Raspberry and citrus with delicate floral notes on the nose. Red fruit runs through the palate, the Pinot Noir lends it fullness, and fine bubbles keep it fresh and lively. Fine mousse with a fresh, elegant finish.
