Le Mesnil Sublime Rose Grand Cru Champagne France NV

The Le Mesnil co-operative was established in 1937 in the heart of the Grand Cru village of Le Mesnil Sur Oger in the Côtes des Blancs, which is widely regarded as the source of the region’s best Chardonnay. Currently, the winery is owned by the Union des Propriétaires-Récoltants, who collectively own around 754 acres of vineyard, with winemaker Gilles Margue at the helm. Margue, who joined the winery in 2001 and was promoted in 2005, has a National Diploma in Oenology and has worked internationally in California, New Zealand, and in South Africa.

Vineyards are located half on the plains and half on the hillsides, taking full advantage of the sun. Under Gilles Marguet, the principles of “la lutte raisonnée” are applied, limiting the use of chemicals, and yields are restricted by pruning to 4-5 buds in each cane. The vineyards all have excellent hydric qualities due to the base layer of chalk in the soil, which retains water even during droughts, thus allowing the Chardonnay to reach its full potential.

This rose champagne will first attract you by its fine salmon pink colour. A delicate blend of red wine from pinot noir of several terroir of Grand Cru Champenois. This wine has seductive aromas, reminiscent of a summer breeze and a lovely fruity palate. An elegant wine, ideal as an aperitf but can also be enjoyed with a meal.
