Champagne Lallier Réflexion R021 Brut Rosé

Champagne Lallier Réflexion R021 Brut Rosé illustrates the contemporary and rigorous approach of the Lallier house, founded in Aÿ, one of the historic crus of Champagne. This rosé cuvée is part of the Réflexion R collection, designed to express a precise interpretation of the main vintage each year, enriched by carefully selected reserve wines.

Produced using a masterful blend of white and red Champagne wines, this Lallier Brut Rosé Champagne highlights the typical characteristics of Pinot Noir, the emblematic grape variety of the Aÿ terroirs, while maintaining the balance and tension characteristic of the Lallier style.

An approach to blending at the heart of the Réflexion R collection

The Réflexion R021 Brut Rosé cuvée is based on a majority of wines from the 2021 vintage, complemented by reserve wines integrated with a view to stylistic continuity. This method preserves the identity of the house while highlighting the characteristics specific to each harvest year.

The rosé is obtained by blending still red wines made from Pinot Noir, vinified separately, which bring structure and aromatic expression, with white wines made mainly from Chardonnay. This process ensures a precise interpretation of the fruit and terroir, without excessive extraction.
