Champagne Antoine Derigny Rosé Brut NV (Magnum 1.5L)

An earth-shattering price on this incredibly fresh and elegant Brut Rosé magnum, from top-notch vineyards and aged on the lees for two years! No matter the occasion of your next soirée or dinner party, this is the opening wine you’ll be endlessly praised for serving to your guests.

A blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, & 5% Pinot Meunier, colored with 12% Pinot Noir from Bouzy, makes up the wine’s cepage. It is a crowd-pleaser, through and through, with a Brut dosage to keep things fresh while adding a bit of mouth-filling texture. Aromas of garden roses, red apple skin, and wild strawberries with cream spill from the glass, as the palate brings in vibrant flavors of raspberry, cranberry, Bing cherry, spring flowers, and clementines, all accentuated by salty sea mist, nice acidity, and a really pretty, lasting finish.

This absolutely thrilling bottle of bubbly goodness is crafted by the Bernard Remy Champagne estate, with Bernard’s son, Rudy, steering the course of these wines since 2008. The estate is located in the village of Allemant on the Cóte des Blancs, not far from the big and bustling cities of Reims and Epernay. With 11 hectares of vines throughout Montagne de Reims (including a bulk of the holdings falling in the Cóte des Blancs best sites, like Le Mesnil-sur-Oger), Rudy thoughtfully composes his blends by weaving the flavors, textures, and aromatic complexities of prime lots of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier into this brilliant bubbly. For many years, the wines were consumed almost entirely in France, until we made a fateful trip there some years back! I lovingly urge you to try some of these rarely imported wines for a crazy price yourself!
