Grand Vintage Rose 2009 is a champagne distinguished by its maturity, complexity and charisma. Aged for 7 years, Grand Vintage is a truly unique blend based on the harvest of 2009 extraordinary grapes. Pinot Noir takes center stage in 2009. The wine’s airy elegance provides the backbone of the vintage and the proportion of Pinot Noir has not been this high since 1996.
THE VINTAGE
Following one of the coldest winters in 15 years, springtime was free of frost but particularly rainy with episodes of severe storms. All of these issues were forgotten in mid-July thanks to the consistently hot, dry, sunny weather. The harvest took place during the habitual dates, beginning on September 12th in Aube and in the Epernay area to the 28th in Verzenay
