Magnum - Rose Marne Champagne, Maison Delavenne, Champagne, France

A Grand Cru Rosé Champagne from Bouzy, Champagne Delavenne Père & Fils’ Rosé Marne in magnum format brings added depth, freshness and ageing potential, allowing the wine’s layered red fruit character and mineral precision to evolve with even greater harmony. Tasting Notes: Delicate raspberry pink in colour with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is expressive and refined, opening with ripe strawberry, raspberry and baked red apple, lifted by rose petal florals and a subtle citrus brightness. With time in the glass, the bouquet gains further complexity, revealing darker berry tones, gentle spice and a light toasted nuance. The palate is generous and vinous, combining juicy red fruit with a creamy, rounded texture and vibrant freshness. A clear mineral line runs through the wine, carrying it to a long, elegant finish where red fruit, floral notes and delicate spice linger with poise. Winemaking: Sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards in Bouzy and Ambonnay, this cuvée is a dual-vintage blend of approximately 43% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 17% Bouzy Rouge (estate-grown still Pinot Noir). Produced by Delavenne, an independent Récoltant-Manipulant estate, it follows a low-intervention philosophy using indigenous yeasts and no malolactic fermentation to preserve purity and freshness. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel and enamel tanks, with extended lees ageing of at least three years to build complexity and finesse. The wine is finished with a Brut dosage of around 9g/L, seamlessly integrated to maintain balance and clarity of fruit. Food Pairing: A versatile Grand Cru Rosé Champagne that excels both as an aperitif and with food. Particularly well suited to seafood, lobster, salmon, duck, sashimi and lightly spiced dishes, as well as red berry desserts and fruit-based pâtisserie. The magnum format makes it especially fitting for celebrations, allowing the wine to open gradually and show enhanced elegance over time. ABV: 12.5%
