Vintage Details

The vintage of this Champagne may vary, but the ‘Solessence’ cuvée always stands out for its balance between finesse and fullness. The grapes come from different villages in the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs, guaranteeing aromatic complexity and gustatory harmony. The Magnum format, in addition to being perfect for special occasions, allows the wine to evolve more slowly over time, maintaining freshness longer.

Vinification and Aging

Champagne Brut Rosé 'Solessence' Magnum is the result of a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Fermentation takes place partly in steel and partly in barriques, a technique that enhances the balance between fruit and structure. After secondary fermentation, the wine ages for about 24-36 months on its lees, a process that enriches its complex notes and the fineness of its bubbles. The "Brut" dosage (i.e., with a low residual sugar content) highlights the purity of the wine and enhances its drinkability.
