Champagne AR Lenoble Rose Terroirs "Mag 15" (1x75cl)

AR Lenoble, a family-owned house in Damery, consistently champions a terroir-driven approach to Champagne production. Their Rosé Terroirs 'Mag 15' exemplifies this philosophy, drawing fruit from their esteemed holdings: Grand Cru Chardonnay from Chouilly, and Premier Cru Pinot Noir from Bisseuil and Damery. The 'Mag 15' designation indicates a base vintage of 2015, augmented by a significant proportion of AR Lenoble's extensive reserve wine library, aged in magnum for enhanced complexity and freshness. This rosé is crafted through the assemblage method, blending a small percentage of still red Pinot Noir from Bisseuil with the white base wines, imparting delicate colour and structure. Extended lees ageing and a judiciously low dosage further contribute to its characteristic purity and expressive fruit profile, reflecting the distinct character of its constituent crus.

Tasting notes

The AR Lenoble Rosé Terroirs 'Mag 15' presents a delicate salmon-pink hue with persistent, fine effervescence. On the nose, an intricate bouquet unfolds, revealing notes of wild strawberry, redcurrant, and a hint of rose petal, underpinned by subtle autolytic complexity of brioche and toasted almond. The palate is vibrant and impeccably balanced, offering a precise interplay of red berry fruit, citrus zest, and a distinct chalky minerality. Its elegant structure is supported by a refreshing acidity and a creamy texture, leading to a long, clean finish marked by a lingering saline note. A sophisticated expression of rosé Champagne, showcasing both fruit purity and terroir distinction.
