Michel Arnould & Fils
Brut Rosé
Champagne
Grand Cru
The Champagnes of Michel Arnould & Fils are all 100% Grand Cru with the Pinot Noir coming from their vineyards in Verzenay on the famed "Montagne de Reims" and the Chardonnay from their vineyards in Cramant on the Grand Cru "Côte de Blanc". The vineyards in Verzenay are considered among the best vineyards in the Champagne region as the northerly orientation of the vineyards benefits from the action of the cold on the yeast, which produces more and better-formed bubbles. This family owned business produces Champagnes that consistently win awards and earn high ratings in the French wine press.

The Brut Rosé is made from 100% Pinot Noir and is produced entirely in Verzenay. The rosé is produced from wines made from selected vintages and blended with red coteaux champenois made from their own vineyards. This latter wine is made from Pinot noir from old vines, and then processed in old oak barrels.

This Champagne rests for 3 years on the lees before it is released for sale, which gives it rich aromas that marry well with the fresh fruit bouquet. This is an incredibly rich and complex rosé that stands with the great Champagnes at an affordable price.

This is excellent Champagne for an aperitif or with appetizers or hors d'oeuvres.
