ABOUT THIS WINE
Beaumont des Crayères Grand Rosé is a non-vintage Brut rosé Champagne from the Champagne AOC/AOP region of France. It is a blend primarily composed of Pinot Meunier (40-45%), with Pinot Noir (35%) and Chardonnay (25%). The producer, Beaumont des Crayères, is a cooperative founded in 1955, comprising approximately 250 winegrowers who cultivate 85 hectares of vineyards. The estate's name references a notable vineyard ('Beaumont') and the chalky soil ('crayères') characteristic of the region. The wine is distinguished by its significant use of Pinot Meunier and an aging process that extends beyond the minimum legal requirement, contributing to its depth and complexity.
