Jean Noel Haton Rose Grand Cru Champagne

This Champagne comes from Grand Cru vineyards in the renowned Champagne region of France. Grand Cru status is awarded to vineyards of the highest quality, with specific terroirs that produce grapes with exceptional potential. The combination of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for the Rosé Grand Cru gives this Champagne complexity, depth, and a distinct elegance. The vineyard's soil composition, combined with the region's cool climate, supports the creation of finely balanced, expressive wines.

This Rosé Champagne is made from a blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. This balance results in a wine that is both fresh and structured. The Chardonnay provides finesse, floral aromas, and citrus brightness, while the Pinot Noir adds richness, berry fruit character, and depth. This rosé is characterised by its subtlety, elegance, and gourmet profile, with hints of red fruit, rose, and citrus.

The wine undergoes traditional Champagne method vinification, where it is carefully aged in French oak barrels for added complexity. The fermentation process uses indigenous yeasts, and the wine is left on the lees for several months to develop its distinctive mouthfeel and aromatic profile. This Champagne is also aged for a minimum of six years, allowing it to develop its fine, creamy bubbles and depth of flavour before release​.

Jean-Noel Haton Rosé Grand Cru offers expressive aromas of rose, raspberry, and redcurrant, with a refreshing backdrop of mandarin. On the palate, it is precise and delicate, with a fine-grained texture from the Pinot Noir and a silky freshness. The wine is both elegant and powerful, with layers of fruit and a dry, mineral finish​.

This Champagne pairs wonderfully with rich seafood like lobster or scallops, as well as smoked salmon. It also complements spicy dishes, such as Tandoori king prawns. For dessert, it works beautifully with red fruit-based treats like raspberry macaroons or a fruit soup.
