WINE MAKING PROCESS
Launois Rosé Valentine is produced using the 'rosé d'assemblage' method, where a portion of still red Pinot Noir wine is blended with the white base wine before the second fermentation. The base wine originates from the 2020 vintage and undergoes a significant aging process of at least 36 months on its lees. Vineyard management follows 'Reasoned Production' practices. The wine has an alcohol by volume of 12.0% and a residual sugar of 3.0 g/l, classifying it as Brut.
