Vinification of the Rosé Brut Intense from Dourdon Vieillard

The balanced Rosé Brut Intense from France is a cuvée, made from the grape varieties Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Champagne. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of clay and limestone. Of course, Rosé Brut Intense is also defined by more than just the Champagne soil. This Frenchman can be described as an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, presenting itself as exceptionally distinguished and complex. The ripening of the grapes for this wine from Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir is influenced to an undeniable extent by the climate of the growing region. In Champagne, the grapes thrive in a rather cool climate, which is reflected among other things in particularly long and uniform grapes and a rather moderate must weight. Following the harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Now follows the fermentation of the base wines. After the assemblage of the cuvée, further aging follows on the basis of the Méthode Traditionelle. Subsequently, the Dourdon Vieillard Rosé Brut Intense matures for 6 months on the full yeast.
