This Extra Brut Premier Cru Rosé champagne from Maison Lombard is made from a blend of 50% Chardonnay from the villages of Grauves et Vertus, 40% Pinot noir from Sermier and Cumières, and 10% of a Grand Cru red wine from Verzenay.
It is a champagne with a lot of substance, a great aromatic balance. On the nose, it is discreet, on red fruits. On the palate, this Rosé champagne is elegant and subtle with gourmet small red berries, cherry pie and sweet spices. It is well balanced, with red fruits and citrus blending elegantly with acidity and a crunchy aftertaste.
A full and generous finish completes this refined Champagne.
Maison LOMBARD is a family estate located in Epernay and created in 1925, with a very Burgundian vision of Champagne. The vineyard is in organic conversion, on the Montagne de Reims Ouest. The cuvées are mono-crus and parcel, produced exclusively from Premier and Grand Cru. All the champagnes are Brut Nature or Extra-Brut, to reveal the identities and expressions of each place with great authenticity.
The pressure inside a bottle of Champagne can be as high as 90 pounds per square inch (psi), which is about three times the pressure inside an average car tyre. This is because the carbon dioxide produced during the secondary fermentation is trapped inside the bottle, creating the wine's signature bubbles.
The traditional wire cage used to secure the cork in place is called a "muselet", it takes six half-twists to secure it properly.
The grapes, most commonly Chardonnay, Pinot noir and Pinot meunier, are used to make several base wines that are assembled together to make Champagne, English Sparkling wine and other classic cuvée wines.
Champagne blends can also include Arbane, Petit Meslier, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. Other appelations have rules about which grapes can be included.
