Tasting notes
The NV Dame-Jane is simply gorgeous, evoking aromas of tangerine, spices, red berries, peony, rose and herbs, followed by a medium-bodied, vinous and layered palate with bright acids and a satiny, tense mid-palate enhanced by a phenolic core of fruit with a superb gastronomic bitterness. Macerated for eight hours and matured in amphorae and sandstone containers, this blend of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay was disgorged in January 2024 with a dosage of five grams per liter.

Beginning with the striking, pale copper color, this is very unconventional rosé champagne. Wonderful fruit aromas that range from cherry and wild strawberry to persimmon and candied orange with a touch of sushi ginger. Then comes the mouth-filling and well-structured palate that has an amazing grainy-chalky feel to it, unlike anything else in this category. Very long, saline finish. A cuvée of pinot noir with a small amount of chardonnay that was vinified in amphoras. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
