The Emmanuel Brochet Rosé d'Assemblage Extra Brut Champagne, with a 2022 base, represents a shift in style for the producer, moving from a saignée method to an assemblage method to achieve greater freshness and drinkability. This confidential cuvée is produced in limited quantities, with only 6,111 bottles of the 2022 vintage. It's crafted primarily from Pinot Meunier (90%) and Pinot Noir (10%), grown on the sandy-gravelly limestone soils of the Petite Montagne de Reims, and is certified organic. The grapes are vinified and aged for 11 months in barrels on lees, without fining or filtration, reflecting a minimal-intervention approach. The wine presents a pale salmon pink robe with delicate copper glints and a fine, persistent bead. The nose is precise and expressive, opening with wild strawberry, raspberry, and redcurrant, evolving towards blood orange, pomelo zest, and hints of pomegranate, with subtle notes of rose petal, fresh herbs, and chalky minerality. On the palate, it's vibrant and straight, driven by refined acidity, with a silky mid-palate of juicy red berries, citrus, and a slight saline touch, leading to a long, mouthwatering, pure, dry, and gastronomic finish. This new style has already garnered critical acclaim, with a stellar 94 points from The Wine Advocate on its first release. The optimal drinking window begins now, within 1-2 years after release, but it can be cellared for 5 to 7 years to gain complexity. 【A refined grower Champagne with high-definition elegance and a sophisticated mineral snap.】 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This versatile Champagne pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, including tuna or salmon tartare, sushi and sashimi (especially fatty fish), poultry or veal with cream and morels, delicate charcuterie, fine cured hams, fresh goat cheeses, and soft-ripened cheeses. It also complements fried food, roast white meats, braised dishes, and mushroom risotto. 🥂 Event suggestions: Ideal as a refined aperitif, for gastronomic lunches and dinners, or to accompany special moments where an elegant, characterful rosé Champagne is desired. It's perfect for celebrations, intimate gatherings, or as a thoughtful gift for a Champagne connoisseur.
