Vollereaux et Fils — Rosé de Saignée

Rosé de Saignée

Vollereaux et Fils | Rosé

To finish off a meal with cheese – featuring a trio of Brie, Camembert and the robust Affiné au Chablis, accompanied by grapes and a delicate fig confit – this Rosé de Saignée from Vollereaux et Fils pairs surprisingly well.

A Saignée isn't a pale summer rosé, but 100% Pinot Noir with power and depth. The rich berry intensity with creamy soft cheese makes for a nice match.

Compared to more complex grower champagnes, it lacks complexity and elegance. Still, it's proof that you can find quite decent bottles in retail stores.

Tasting Notes
