Roland Champion Rose Carat

12.5% abv

Vol- 75cl

Rosé Carat Champagne is produced in tiny quantities, about 4,000 bottles a year and not produced every year depending on harvest conditions. The wine is a blend of 90% white wine and 10% reserve red wine. The white wine comprises 1/3 Chardonnay, 1/3 Pinot Meunier, 1/3 Pinot Noir, with the Chardonnay coming from their vines in the Grand Cru village of Chouilly, the Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier from their vines in the Marne Valley village of Verneuil. The red wine is added to the blend of which 80% comprises Pinot Noir with the balance being Pinot Meunier, mostly aged in stainless steel tanks but with some of the Pinot Noir aged in 500L Wooden Casks. The base vintage is currently 2016 and is kept on the lees for a minimum of four years, until the Champion family feel that the wine is ready for release. They produce a wine with a pale rose colour which is very refined and elegant.

The Champion family have been growing grapes in Chouilly since the 18th century and today the estate is run by Francois and two of his daughters, Carole in charge of all the administration, and Clemence is the wine maker. They have 18 hectares, 70% is in Chouilly Grand Cru, with 22% Pinot Meunier and 8% Pinot Noir in the Marne.

Until recently most of their juice has been sold to the big houses but they intend to keep more for sale under their own label and we were fortunate to knock on their door just at the right time. All their champagnes have extremely low dosage and are fine, minerally and delicate.
