Rosé de Saignée
Robert Allait | Rosé
Not: What am I cooking – and which champagne pairs with it? But rather: Which champagne is waiting in the cellar – and what could pair with it? Some Rosé de Saignée were lying there well-chilled. Powerful, intense, structured – but not necessarily all-rounders. And from this exact situation came this combination: A light carpaccio of red beets, thinly sliced, with goat cheese, chopped walnuts, a few drops of Crema di Balsamico and the finest olive oil from ... as the highlight: a spoonful of Miel du Vignoble from Robert Allait. Simple dish but a magnificent pairing. – Rosé de Saignée – Éclat de Meunier - Grape variety: 100% Meunier
- Vinification: 15 hours skin contact, no malolactic fermentation
- Aging: Temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, aging on the lees
- Dosage: 8 g/l – Brut
- Color: Pale ruby red, brilliant
- Nose: Cherry, blackcurrant, wild strawberry, honey, licorice
- Palate: Fresh, clear, with fine fruit sweetness and long, red fruit finish - Served: In Wine Wings glass – for maximum aromatic surface and texture emphasis Honey as part of the terroir The small jar of "Miel du Vignoble" came as a surprise with my last delivery from Robert Allait – a gift from the winery, but also a statement: Biodiversity is not marketing, but lived vineyard work. Why honey in viticulture? Winegrowers who focus on biodiversity deliberately keep beehives in and around their vineyards – not only for pollination, but to strengthen ecological balance. Bees indicate how healthy a terroir really is: No pesticides, no monoculture, no exploitation. The honey is thus more than a byproduct – it is part of the overall concept. Conclusion: Not much. But exactly right. And a glass that shows how expressive Meunier can be in rosé – if you let it. éDeSaignée ätImWeinberg

Tasting Notes
Intense red fruit profile with power, structure and a hint of tannin. A rosé with backbone that goes beyond typical strawberry aromas.
