Blend and winemaking

A traditionally blended rosé cuvée, N°14 Rosé brings together Champagne’s principal grape varieties to reveal a precise balance of fruit, energy and finesse. Careful selection of the base wines, the measured addition of a well-expressed red Champagne and extended ageing on the lees shape its satin texture and aromatic brightness. The winemaking emphasizes fruit purity, clarity of structure and the straight, sapid finish. The dosage, handled with subtlety, highlights verticality without masking the mineral drive. From harvest to secondary fermentation, every action aims for purity, harmony and longevity, producing a delicate, consistent bead that gently accompanies the unfolding of flavours.
