Champagne Fresne Ducret

‘Spagyrie’ Premier Cru Brut Rose

France, Champagne

Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir

Spagyrie is a "New Latin" word for alchemy and the art and science of blending. In the making of this cuvée, Pierre follows the grand principles of blending ; separating, extracting and combining, using the best of their three grape varieties to create a generous cuvée. Spagyrie is a blend of 25.5% Pinot Noir, 62% Pinot Meunier, 8.5% Chardonnay. A voyage into the heart of our terroir and its pinots, the red wine vinification brings to this rosé by blending aromas of strawberry and raspberry. Deep pink colour, with copper nuances. A nice foam when poured stabilizes into a lovely string of pearls. The nose is dominated by red fruits—raspberry, redcurrant, pomegranate—punctuated with citrus notes. In the mouth, a moreishness characterized by Biscuits Roses and violet.
