Rosé de Mailly
Luscious meringue-like hints of sweetness highlighted by subtle floral notes with just the faintest whiff of spring – add a refined, red-fruit driven bouquet and you have all the hallmarks of a masterfully macerated rosé. On the palate the wine is wonderfully plush, with kirsch-like notes of raspberries intermixed with juicy citrus adding verve and layers of depth.
“Rosé champagne has always been a speciality of the House, thanks to a terroir blessed with old-vine plantings of Pinot Noir. Treated as a separate batch, these grapes are harvested separately over a twoday period, then sorted on a triage table before de-stemming and gentle crushing – all under the watchful eye of the cellar master.”

Pairing with food
Our ultimate aperitif champagne, Rosé de Mailly will add a touch of Mailly charm to cocktail parties of every kind.

Particularly recommended with tapas, jamon ibérico, small feathered-game, roasted white meats or venison fillet with cranberries (uncommonly good with blue cheese too). On a sweeter note, try Rosé de Mailly with a berry-based dessert, or a charlotte made with «Biscuits Roses de Reims» – a match made in heaven.
