Antoine Bouvet - Valley Hills

La Saignée de Bisseuil is an elegant expression of Pinot Noir from Bisseuil, one of the most prestigious terroirs in the Montagne de Reims. Produced by the Antoine Bouvet house based in Mareuil-sur-Ay, this rosé de saignée champagne draws its character from the historic "Les Pautes" plot, with vines dating back to 1964. The traditional saignée technique, which involves delicately draining the juice from black grapes for a short period, gives this champagne its beautiful pale pink color with coppery nuances and its distinctive sensory profile.

On the palate, the champagne reveals a beautiful mineral freshness typical of this chalky and calcareous terroir. The Extra Brut, with its low residual sugar, allows for a certain creaminess without heaviness. Delicate red fruit aromas intertwine with citrus notes and a fine saline persistence. The fine and regular bubbles are discreet but present, contributing to this sensation of purity and lightness that characterizes great saignée champagnes.

This wine is a faithful expression of Bisseuil, an emblematic commune whose marly and calcareous soils give the wines their characteristic minerality and their ability to preserve freshness while developing beautiful complexity. A champagne that is readily enjoyed as an aperitif, but also elegantly accompanies more intimate moments and delicate meals.
