The Rosé is made of a blend of 12 % red wine and 88 % white wine.
The red wine needs 8-9 days of maceration using only their own Pinot Noir,
the juice will get the colour of the skin during this contact;
this is a long and difficult process to achieve, therefore only new, specific,
stainless steel tanks (6800 litres) are used.
The white wines come only from their own Chardonnays therefore taking
advantage of the quality and complexity of those wines.
Hence, the Champagne Rosé d'Assemblage will have a fairly intense
colour but with a nice freshness, you will smell and taste ripe red fruits
on a long fresh finish.
Ideal with light (rare) meats or any dessert with red fruits.
CHAMPAGNE RENÉ JOLLY
Independent since 1737, this century award winning family owned Champagne
producer only produce and bottle wines from their own vineyards, situated
in the village of Landreville in the southern most area of Champagne known
as the Aube or Coté des Bar: Their cellars date back to 1737
and currently have a maximum production of just 35000 bottles and vineyards
totalling eleven hectares.
100% of their grapes are handpicked, (the harvesting machine is forbidden
in the Champagne appellation), and pressed using a new type of press,
a "horizontal and hydrolic" from the famous press builder 'Coquard', this
press is unique in the whole of Champagne.
Depending on variety their still wines are aged from two to four years,
the settlement of the yeast is natural with no filtration, in order to
keep their aromatic qualities as fine and interesting as possible.
The blend is done by three generations, René, Hervé and
Pierre-Eric in order to ensure the taste remains the same through time.
After a few years in their eighteenth century cellar, the riddling is
done by hand, a job still performed by René himself.
Discorgement is done "à la volée", without freezing the
neck. |
