Light, lively rosés best enjoyed young, with a pale pink robe and an airy palate of preserved acidity, showing discreet aromas of red fruits and flowers. Rustic, understated profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, this pink French variety testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of French vineyards.

The word of the wine: R-C (champagne)
Harvesting-cooperator. It is the cooperative which elaborates the champagne of its members from their mixed contributions. It gives them bottles on which they stick their own label. It is legal without being intellectually honest. When you walk around the Champagne region, you may come across signs that say "Vigneron récoltant" to indicate a member of a cooperative. You can always ask him where his vats and press are.
