Vintage Character Champagne Laurent Lequart Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut is a grower Champagne from Passy-sur-Marne in the Vallée de la Marne, crafted from Meunier and made in the traditional rosé de saignée style. As a non-vintage cuvée, it is designed to express house style with consistency, and the Extra Brut dosage keeps the wine especially precise, letting the fruit and chalky freshness take the lead. The Vallée de la Marne is one of Champagne’s key homes for Meunier, where clay-limestone soils and a slightly warmer valley influence help the grape deliver both generous fruit and supple texture, giving this rosé its distinctive depth and charm.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The bouquet opens with wild strawberry, redcurrant and raspberry, followed by peony, rose petal and a light touch of brioche. On the palate, it is brisk yet vinous, with fine mousse, tangy red-berry fruit, a subtle savory edge and a clean, dry finish that carries hints of pastry, chalk and roasted almond. That balance of energy and gentle breadth makes it a compelling partner for duck breast with cherry glaze, tuna tartare, or salmon sashimi.
Winery Background Champagne Laurent Lequart is a family estate rooted in Passy-sur-Marne and closely identified with the promotion of Meunier as a serious, characterful grape capable of finesse as well as structure. The domaine is recognized for sustainable vineyard work, including HVE and VDC certification, and for a meticulous approach to parcel selection. This cuvée highlights the estate’s artisanal philosophy: rosé made by skin contact rather than blending, low dosage for clarity, and élevage that preserves both fruit purity and textural complexity—an expressive, grower-led interpretation of Meunier in Champagne.
