Rose Brut, Bailly Lapierre
AOC CRÉMANT DE BOURGOGNE ROSE BRUT
This burgundy rosé Crémant comes from lightly steeped Pinot Noir and Gamay grapes. The first variety brings a winey character, the second its unmistakeable aromas of red berry fruit. A wine for easy enjoyment par excellence, it possesses a delicious softness free of anything sugary. Entirely fresh and with real finesse, its mousse displays an almost frothy, airy lightness...
Transport of the harvest in open-sided bins of 45kgs to eliminate any damage to the berries, airbag presses, must obtained on the basis of 100 litres of juice from 150kgs of harvest: 75% first pressing, 25% second or later pressings. Both yeast and malolactic fermentations carried out, blending of separately-made wines, then preparations for bottling that is carried out after January 1st.  Extended maturing, 12 months on average, bottles inverted on racks in the unvarying natural cool and half-light of the underground cellars hewn out of the limestone bedrock. It is during this period that the wine’s natural sparkle develops
Two-stage certification by the INAO (Institut National de l’Origine et de la Qualité): first the base wines, then the finished wines off the racks.
