Champagne Extra-Brut, Rosé de Saignée - La Forêt, Alexandre Bonnet - 2018

Provenance: Champagne
Appellation: Champagne
Domain: Alexandre Bonnet
Grape variety(ies): Pinot Noir issu d'une sélection massale Domaine planté en 1974, taille raccourcie en Guyot simple (8 yeux au lieu de 10).
Alcohol degree: 12.5%

This is one of today's greatest rosé champagnes, a wine that reveals the exceptional class of Les Riceys. A limpid ruby-red colour. Intense nose of burlat cherry, forest fruits, redcurrant and spices (pepper, turmeric). Fruity and powerful on the palate, structured by racy, vinous tannins, with a long, fresh finish. Delicious straight away, La Forêt is a great wine that connoisseurs can leave to develop over the next twenty years or so. James Suckling: 93/100

Technique

Viticulture

Kimmeridgian Jurassic limestone and marl, slightly ferruginous, cool, sunny climate in southern Champagne, average altitude 250 m. Precision viticulture, extensive prophylaxis, tillage, grassing or inter-row sowing, organic compost, no weedkillers, no insecticides, HVE and VDC certification since 2015. Development of biodiversity by planting orchards, truffle oaks, melliferous fallow land, late mowing of grassed areas (pollination), restoration of vernacular heritage (cadoles).

Oenology

Harvested exclusively by hand and progressively according to the ripeness of the grapes. Sorting in the vineyard. Immediate transfer to openwork crates. Hand sorting, total de-stemming, gravity-fed vatting, 48-hour maceration, including 24 hours pre-fermentation cold maceration, light sulphiting, simple yeasting, natural malolactic fermentation, light filtration after chilling. Aged for an average of 36 months on the lees, disgorged with low dosage to preserve the purity of the wine.
