Dosnon Recolte Rose Brut Champagne Sparkling Rose 750ml
Description
Dosnon’s Récolte Rosé represents the new wave of grower champagne, where traditional methods meet modern sensibilities. From their base in the Côte des Bar, where Pinot Noir achieves exceptional ripeness, Dosnon creates this rosé using a combination of direct pressing and saignée methods. The result is a pink champagne of unusual depth and character, showcasing the potential of Champagne’s southern reaches. With minimal intervention and a focus on terroir expression, this is rosé that challenges preconceptions about what grower champagne can achieve.
Récolte Rosé immediately impresses with its vibrant color and fine mousse. The nose is intensely fruity yet sophisticated – wild strawberries, raspberries, and blood orange mingle with subtle floral notes and a hint of warm spices. There’s a purity here that speaks to careful winemaking and healthy vineyards. On the palate, this rosé reveals its serious side. The texture is precise and energetic, with fine bubbles that create an elegant effervescence. The Côte des Bar terroir provides riper fruit flavors than northern Champagne – red cherry, pomegranate, and pink grapefruit are delivered with remarkable clarity. Yet there’s structure here too, with a mineral backbone that prevents any sense of simple fruitiness. The finish is long and refreshing, with a subtle salinity that makes it particularly food-friendly. This is modern rosé champagne at its best – vibrant, pure, and absolutely delicious.
