Les Fontaines Rosé Brut Nature 2021 1500ml Magnum

Wine description for Les Fontaines Rosé Brut Nature 2021 1500ml Magnum by de Bichery

Character

A Brut Nature from Champagne that dispenses with any dosage whatsoever, underscoring de Bichery’s purist signature. The magnum bottle guarantees slower, more harmonious maturation. With just 11.5% alcohol, this rosé presents itself elegantly and with approachable drinkability, without the heaviness typical of many Champagnes. The exclusive use of Pinot Noir lends it structure and characteristic red fruit character, whilst the absence of dosage places authentic terroir expression front and centre.

Terroir & Origin

Champagne, with its chalk-rich soils and cool continental climate, offers ideal conditions for refined sparkling wines. De Bichery works with vineyard parcels that impart mineral depth and precision to the wine. The 2021 vintage in Champagne was characterised by cool nights and moderate temperatures, resulting in outstanding acidity structure and aromatic freshness – perfect for an unadorned Brut Nature.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pinot Noir is the backbone of this rosé, bringing body, complexity and subtle tannin structure. Vinification as Brut Nature – that is, without added dosage – demands exceptional fruit and artisanal skill. Only perfectly ripe, healthy grapes can carry this uncompromising style. The result is a Champagne of remarkable clarity and directness, presenting fruit and minerality without the veil of added sugar. The magnum bottle amplifies these qualities through optimal maturation conditions.

Food Pairing Suggestions

The taut, unadorned nature of this Champagne makes it the ideal companion for raw shellfish, oysters and sashimi. It also harmonises beautifully with smoked salmon, tuna tataki or a plateau de fruits de mer. The Pinot structure permits bolder pairings with rose-roasted veal, duck breast or aged hard cheeses. A versatile table companion for discerning palates.
