De Chanceny, Brut, Rosé

THE WINE De Chanceny is emblematic of our know-how in producing fine, sparkling Loire wines according to the Méthode Traditionnelle, developed since 1953.

TERROIR Our "De Chanceny" rosé cuvée is made from grapes grown on selected plots to the south of Saumur. The clay-limestone terroir promotes perfect ripening and ageing in our tufa chalk cellars gives this cuvée its superb freshness, fruit, and character.

VINIFICATION Hand picking, gentle pressing, and cool fermentation (18°C) ensure that all the aromas are preserved. Second fermentation in bottle of a selection of the best wines, according to the Méthode Traditionnelle.

MATURING The bottles are stored horizontally on wooden laths in our tufa cellars for a minimum of 12 to 16 months before disgorging, to develop an incomparably fine bead.

Lively initial impression on the palate and good aromatic intensity. Well-balanced on the palate, following through with a fresh, wonderfully subtle aftertaste.
