Critic Review and Score

92 points. "The NV Brut Rosé 1er Cru is a pretty rich wine, especially for this address, where the Champagnes are often quite lithe. Deceptive in its first impression, the Rosé shows plenty of depth and intensity, with a core of sweet red berry fruit that blossoms in the glass." – Antonio Galloni, Vinous.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Delicate salmon pink with fine, persistent bubbles.
• Nose: Aromas of fresh strawberries, raspberries, and subtle floral notes.
• Palate: Elegant and balanced, featuring flavors of red berries, citrus zest, and a hint of brioche.
• Finish: Crisp and refreshing, with a lingering minerality and vibrant acidity.

The Story Behind the Wine

Founded in 1942 by Jules Lassalle in Chigny-les-Roses, Champagne J. Lassalle has been a family-run estate for three generations. After Jules' passing in 1982, his wife Olga and daughter Chantal continued the legacy, with granddaughter Angéline joining in 2006. The estate spans 16 hectares of Premier Cru vineyards, with vines averaging 50 years in age, planted on clay and limestone soils. The Brut Rosé 1er Cru is a blend of approximately 70% Pinot Noir, 15% Chardonnay, and 15% Pinot Meunier, crafted in the traditional "oeil de perdrix" style, resulting in its pale, delicate hue. 

Pairing Suggestions

This Brut Rosé pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including smoked salmon, duck breast, and soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert. Its vibrant acidity and red fruit profile also complement berry-based desserts and light salads.
