Origin
The Pinot Noir grapes are pressed for up to 2 hours to extract the jus de presse, then vinified and blended to give this delicate and delicious rosé Champagne. Champagne must age for a minimum of 15 months before release. Gremillet age all their Rosé Champagnes for a minimum of 22 months to ensure that the wines are not too young and have married all the elements.
Producer
The Gremillet estate was founded by Jean-Michel Gremillet in 1979 when he inherited a small plot of vines from his mother, Lulu. Today, the house possesses 55 hectares of vineyards and is situated in a small village 45 kilometres from Troyes – the historic capital of Champagne – and 180 kilometres south of Reims.
