Val De Mer Brut Rose

Location: The Val de Mer sparkling rosé is from vineyards near the village of Tonnerre to the north and east of Chablis. The grapes for the Sparkling rosé are crushed and left to macerate on the skins for a few hours only in order to take on a bit of color and fresh red fruit aromas. Afterward, the juice is racked and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Once bottled in the spring for its second fermentation, the wine remains in the bottle on the lees for a minimum of 13 months before being disgorged and no dosage is added.

Soil: Clay and limestone

Yield: 65 hl/ha

Pairings: Try with Raw Oysters on the half shell, some fresh popcorn and a movie, or anything combined with a sunset and a friend.
