The Monmarthe Ludes 1er Cru Rosé de Ludes Brut NV, is a blend of three vintages and the three main Champagne varietals; 35% Pinot Noir, 35% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay. An addition of 10% still Pinot Noir contributing colour.
Here in Ludes, on the north slopes of the Montagne de Reims, Pinot Meunier is the star of the show, lending a higher natural acidity to it's varietal siblings, bridging the heft of Pinot Noir and the lean character of Chardonnay.
The base wine of the Rosé de Ludes undergoes alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel to preserve fruit purity, before secondary fermentation in bottle, where the wines spends a minimum of three years on the fine lees before disgorgement.
The dosage is at 8g/l, resulting in a Brut classification. Salmon pink and red in colour, with aromas of youthful red fruit, blackcurrant and a little sweet spice. The palate is fleshy and textural, with a counterplay of vibrant citrus acidity to bring balance. Characterful and beautifully judged from Monmarthe.
