Jacques Lassaigne Champagne Brut Nature Rose Sauvage NV AFKAT_2025 The palate is silky andThe wild one. Most ros Champagne takes its color from a splash of red wine blended in; the Sauvage instead puts Pinot Noir through a short maceration on the skins, which gives it real red fruited savor rather than just a pretty tint. Underneath is the thing that made Emmanuel Lassaigne a cult name: Chardonnay from Montgueux, an isolated hill west of Troyes whose Cretaceous chalk matches the Cte des Blancs while the warmer Aube climate ripens it.
