Les Fontaines Rosé Brut Nature 2022 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Les Fontaines Rosé Brut Nature 2022 1500ml Magnum by de Bichery

Character

A Brut Nature Rosé from Champagne that uncompromisingly forgoes dosage and thereby reveals the pure essence of Pinot Noir. The magnum bottle underscores the ambitious character of this Champagne – a format that lends the wine additional development time and complexity. At 12.0% alcohol, this rosé presents itself elegantly and with approachability, without losing the structure that defines a great Champagne.

Terroir & Origin

De Bichery stands for artisanal Champagne production that places the chalky terroir of Champagne front and centre. The appellation „Les Fontaines“ alludes to spring water and mineral-rich soils – factors that lend the wine its characteristic tension. The 2022 vintage brought, following a challenging spring, a warm, dry summer that produced healthy, aromatically concentrated grapes.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Pinot Noir – a bold decision that requires confidence in the quality of the grapes. The Brut Nature philosophy means zero dosage, no added sugar after disgorging. What lands in the glass is pure fruit, terroir and craftsmanship. The Pinot Noir brings its typical red berry fruit, structure and depth, whilst the magnum bottle ensures slower, more harmonious maturation. This vinification demands perfect grape material and precise cellar work – any imbalance would be ruthlessly exposed.

Food Pairing Recommendations

A versatile companion that pairs equally well with raw fish and sashimi as with pan-seared salmon or tuna tataki. The structure of Pinot Noir and the freshness of Brut Nature harmonise beautifully with poultry, such as guinea fowl or duck breast cooked pink. Also an exciting partner with strawberries with black pepper or rhubarb desserts. The absence of dosage makes it the ideal aperitif for discerning palates.
