A rare example of one of Champagne's dark rosés presented with serious lees ageing, this 2014 Pinot Noir from biodynamic specialists Leclerc Briant has developed a fascinating, autumnal bouquet that speaks of red Pinot Noir fruit. Plum jellies and cooked black fruit settle into enticing complexities of black tea, dried fig and liquorice, without ever losing a sense of the fruit. It's developed, yes, but there's a magical sense of silky ease, elegant shape and refreshing fruit sweetness here that keeps this far away from feeling tired or dried out. This could be a surprise hit in a situation when a light red Pinot Noir would ordinarily be called for. Two days of maceration on skins, disgorged in 2022.
