Deep salmon with copper hues and a fine, persistent mousse, Les Crots Saignée Rosé 2020 is a single-parcel grower Champagne from Rémi Leroy in the Côte des Bar, defined by intensity, structure and precise site expression.

The cuvée is based on 100% Pinot Noir from the Les Crots vineyard, harvested in the 2020 vintage. Colour, structure and aromatic depth are obtained through the saignée method (controlled maceration on skins), resulting in a rosé with pronounced phenolic presence and red-fruit concentration.

Vinification is parcel-driven and low-intervention, using indigenous yeasts and a combination of stainless steel and oak fermentations to build complexity and texture. The wine is aged on lees in bottle prior to disgorgement and finished with a very low dosage of 1 g/L, preserving a dry, precise and highly focused profile.

The nose is expressive and layered, showing wild strawberry, raspberry and red cherry, complemented by blood orange, citrus oil, rose petal and subtle spice. The palate is vinous and structured, with a firm red-fruit core, chalky minerality and fine, energetic mousse. The saignée technique contributes both depth of colour and a more textured, phenolic mouthfeel than conventional rosé Champagne.
