Description
Disgorged in February 2024 with two grams per liter dosage, Larmandier’s 2021 vintage-based NV Extra-Brut Rose de Saignee derives from the estate’s oldest vines in Vertus, mostly east-facing. Lighter in structure and with a less-saturated hue compared to the 2020 rendition, it was macerated for two and a half days and features higher proportion of Pinot Gris (about 15% to 20%). Vinified in 500-liter barrels, it reveals a bouquet of redcurrant, orange zest and cranberry mingling with spices. Medium-bodied and precise, marked by the vintage’s acidic signature and concluding with a long, perfumed finish, it’s one of the more delicate editions of this cuvee-particularly when compared to its immediate predecessor’s exuberant aromatics and phenolic structure.94 Points Wine Advocate
