Champagne Egérie de Pannier, Rosé de Saignée Brut NV
The Égérie de Pannier Rosé de Saignée Brut NV from Champagne Pannier is a copper-pink Champagne made using the rare saignée method — a short maceration on the skins of Pinot Noir before the juice is “bled” off. It’s composed of approximately 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, and is aged for a minimum of nine years. On the nose, expect ripe red-and-black fruits mingled with a delicate floral lift. The palate brings generous fruit weight, fine texture and richness, balanced by fresh acidity and a graceful minerality, leading to a long, refined finish. Champagne Pannier was founded in 1899 and is based in Château-Thierry in the Vallée de la Marne. Its historic medieval chalk cellars date back to the 12th century, giving the wines a cool and slow maturation environment.
Champagne R de Ruinart Brut NV
' The House of Ruinart is unlike any other. It was the first established House of Champagne in 1729 and inspired by the intuition of a monk well ahead of his time, Dom Thierry Ruinart. R de Ruinart is the original expression of the Ruinart taste. This Brut Champagne contains a relatively large share (40%) of Chardonnay. The family chose very early on to honour the fragile, relatively scarce Chardonnay grape; the most elegant of the white grape varieties in Champagne. Chardonnay takes time to develop - it gradually reaches its full aromatic complexity. The blend is made up of 40% Chardonnay, 49% Pinot Noir and 11% Meunier, 20 to 25% of which are wines reserved from the 2 previous years. This results in a harmonious balance between freshness and fullness, with a refined and round mouthfeel. A perfect champagne for aperitifs whatever the occasion. It may also be served with refined, light starters such as poached oysters and seared scallops, or with a main dish such as sole meunière . It is also excellent with local cheeses with a short ripening time, such as Chaource or a very creamy Langres . '
