Champagne Frederic Savart, Bulle de Rose, 1er Cru, Brut, 75cl

Champagne Frédéric Savart Bulle de Rosé 1er Cru Brut is a distinctive and highly regarded rosé champagne crafted by Frédéric Savart, a boutique winemaker based in the Montagne de Reims region of Champagne. Bulle de Rosé is a rosé champagne, known for its vibrant color and the combination of red and white grape characteristics. The wine typically has a delicate pink hue, with an array of flavors ranging from fresh red fruits to floral and mineral nuances.

The grapes for Bulle de Rosé come from Premier Cru-rated vineyards, which are recognised for their high quality. While not as rare as Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites still produce exceptional fruit, offering a balance of finesse and depth. The vineyards are primarily located in the Montagne de Reims, where Frédéric Savart’s vines benefit from chalky soils that lend minerality and precision to the wine.
