Jean Josselin - Audace R.22 NV Rosé

ROSÉ-VRAI • HARVEST 2022

• Philosophy: Precise and sustainable viticulture that respects the soil, the vine, biodiversity, and people. Grapes are harvested at full maturity with parcel-by-parcel vinification.
• Illustration: Maceration tools – DRAIN (left) for pump-overs and PIGEOU (right) for cap punching.
• Terroir: Côte des Bar, Gyé-sur-Seine – clay-limestone soils over Kimmeridgian marl.
• Farming: Natural grass cover and soil ploughing. Preventive vineyard care: meticulous pruning, debudding, leaf thinning, and careful trellising.
• Vinification: 100% Pinot Noir from lieu-dit Beauregard, harvested on 06/09/2022.
• 100% destemmed harvest, macerated for 34 hours. Blend of free-run and press juice.
• Malolactic fermentation completed. Aged on lees until June. Unfiltered and not cold-stabilized (a light natural sediment may form over time, a sign of a living wine).
• Bottling: 20/07/2023
• Disgorgement: 12/2024
• Dosage: 2.5 g/L – Extra Brut
• Josselin Family’s Insight: A rosé Champagne made by maceration, rich and fruity—perfect with raspberry pastries or to enjoy on its own. Let it surprise you!
• Winemaker’s Note: Its balance and persistent red fruit character make this a harmonious wine.
• Tasting Notes: Beautiful currant-pink color. The nose is marked by small red fruits—redcurrant and raspberry. The palate is rich, intensely fruity, with a finish of redcurrant and licorice.
• Food Pairing: Sashimi, white meats.
