The ‘Désirée Anne’ Cremant Rosé is a show stopping Cremant that comes from a beautiful 30-year-old vineyard, and is predominately Cabernet Franc (90%) and Grolleau Noir (10%). After the hand-harvesting, the grapes came to the cellar and went directly to press, resulting in a pale rosé color that only kissed the skins for a few moments before moving onto stainless steel for a month long cofermentation. During this time, a careful eye is used to ensure that the activity of yeasts are working vigorously while the low temps help to create phenomenal aromatics, and great varietal character. The wine was then aged for 4 months in concrete vat until it was bottled in and aged slowly on its lees for nearly four years, when it then saw a dosage of 7.5g/l of grape juice, not sugar. The resulting bubbles are stunning in the nose, with a beautiful red berry fruit that has been doused in confectionary sugar, giving a lovely marshmallow quality that also seems to find itself in the texture of the mouth. The spicy fruit on the palate has wonderful freshness and acidity, and continues through to a very long finish and is well suited for many cuisines.
