Champagne A. Margaine Rosé de Saignée 2018

Champagne A. Margaine Rosé de Saignée is a vintage rosé Champagne made using the saignée method, a technique that builds depth and structure rather than simply blending together red and white wine.

A. Margaine is a small, family-run grower-producer based in Villers-Marmery, a Premier Cru village on the Montagne de Reims unusual for being planted predominantly to Chardonnay rather than the Pinot Noir that typically dominates this part of Champagne. The rosé de saignée method involves briefly macerating red grapes on their skins before drawing off the coloured juice, giving a more vinous, structured style of rosé than the blended approach used by many larger houses, while the vintage designation reflects a single, declared harvest rather than a blend of reserve wines.

Structured and gastronomic, this is a serious style of rosé Champagne best suited to richer dishes and special occasions rather than as a simple aperitif.
