Pale salmon pink with a delicate copper hue. Fine, persistent bead with an elegant mousse in the glass.

Highly aromatic and distinctive, showing wild strawberry, red currant and watermelon rind layered with rosehip, pink grapefruit and lemon zest. Subtle pastry, chalk and floral notes add complexity.

Crisp and tightly focused, delivering vibrant red berry fruits with green apple freshness and citrus drive. Bright, racy acidity gives energy and precision, with a clean, mineral edge.

Fine bubbles and a lightly creamy lees texture balance the wine’s high acidity. The finish is long, dry and mouth-watering, with lingering citrus, apple and a subtle chalky note.

A rare and distinctive sparkling rosé made from Meslier—fresh, vibrant and mineral-driven. Combines Champagne-like tension with delicate fruit and a refined, aperitif-style elegance.
