Magenta Rosé NV, Epernay, Champagne

Pretty pink colour with a light strawberry nose combined with an elegant freshness from the Chardonnay and fruit flavours of the Pinot Noir.

“When we press the grapes, the first juice (Cuvée) and (Tailles) are separated. The (Tailles) are not used in the Magenta blending”. A small amount of red Champagne wine is added to the Cuvee of chardonnay Wine. The blend is fined and after bottling, wine are aged a further three years “sur lattes” in ours cellars.

Thierry Lombard’s business is champagne. The family-owned business was established in 1925 in the village of Magenta near Epernay, the heart of the Champagne region.

Representing the third generation of his family in the champagne business, Thierry acquired the Epernay-based company Charles de Cazanove in 1984 whereupon he began the creation of Magenta, a high quality brand named in honour of the village where his family established their first champagne cellars.

The range of Magenta champagnes are kept in the cool temperatures of the traditional underground cellars in Epernay, where the bottles quietly age and develop.

The Brut Non Vintage has a minimum of 4 years age and is made from a blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier. The resultant wine is irresistible.
