Vintage Details

Produced with grapes from Premier Cru classified villages, the 'Symbiose' reflects the quality and freshness typical of the Vallée de la Marne. The balanced climatic conditions of the vintage favored optimal grape ripening, ensuring a perfect combination of fruity aromas and lively acidity. The result is a Rosé of great harmony and gustatory precision.

Vinification and aging

This Champagne is made from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier, with the addition of Cumières Rouge, a rare red wine produced solely from Meunier grapes, which gives the blend chromatic intensity and red fruit aromas.

The Extra Brut dosage (very low sugar content) enhances the purity and mineral tension of the sip, making it elegant and dynamic.
