Charles Dufour (Francoise Martinot) ‘Bistrotage’ Extra Brut Rose B11, Champagne, France

Details

Certified Organic. 100% Pinot Noir from three distinct parcels in Chervey (Les Copies, Val Herard, Bicheret). Native yeast fermentation in steel and Burgundy barrels, no SO2, zero dosage. All 2010 fruit, with a decade-long slumber on the leestirage in 2011, disgorged in 2021. This is ros as a time capsule: deep, vinous, and bristling with tension. Wild red berries, dried citrus peel, a flicker of salinity. A wine built on patience, and precision.
