Roger-Constant Lemaire – Rosé de Saignée – Champagne Rosé Brut – 0.75 l – 12 % vol.

Romance, softness, tenderness and elegance: let yourself be surprised by the finesse of its red fruit aromas. Its colour and intensely fruity aromas come from macerating the grape skins with the juice, without adding red wine.
