Champagne Cattier – Clos Du Moulin – Brut Rosé Premier Cru – Magnum – Box – Pinot Noir – Luxury Limited Edition – 1,5 l – Avvenice

Champagne Cattier – Independent Family and Maison de Champagne d’Exception since 1625

The story goes back all the way to 1625, and probably even further, when the Cattier family first started planting vines in Chigny-les-Roses, in the hear t of the Montagne de Reims.

Fast-forward to 1916, when Jean Cattier returned to Chigny-les-Roses as a wounded veteran of the Great War. The city of Reims was under siege by the German Army, shaken by an onslaught of artillery shells which would destroy 60% of the city. Champagne traders tried to keep their businesses running under these harsh conditions, but it was an uphill struggle. Unable to sell his poor harvest in 1916, Jean Cattier decided to turn his grapes into wine and produce his own champagne, released at the end of the war in 1918. This signalled the birth of Cattier champagne.

Champagne Cattier – Clos Du Moulin – Brut Rosé Premier Cru – Magnum – Box – Pinot Noir – Luxury Limited Edition – 1,5 l

Rich and fresh. Covering just 2.2 hectares, the Clos du Moulin is one of Champagne’s two historic walled vineyards and is located on the sunny slopes of the Montagne de Reims near Chigny-les-Roses. The expert team at Cattier has taken three vintages, selected for their ability to age gracefully, and blended them into a wine which reflects their unique origins. The Clos du Moulin Rosé is a single-vineyard champagne and an expression of elegance and fruit. Each bottle has its own unique number.

Description

Eyes

This rosé champagne is a shimmering, almost terracotta shade of pink which complement its extremely fine bubbles.

Nose

It is fresh and fruity on the nose, with aromas of raspberry, candied orange peel and liquorice giving way to spicy, peppery notes.

Palate

This freshness continues on the palate, which opens with vibrant and intense notes of raspberry before melting into spices, bitter orange and tobacco notes as it approaches the long, fresh and complex finish.

Food Pairings

The perfect champagne for an aperitif, the Clos du Moulin Rosé also has the complexity to accompany prawns, sushi, duck à l’orange or even a spiced lamb tagine. As a dessert wine, it will be an excellent match for a charlotte (especially one made with the famous pink lady’s fingers from Reims) or a sabayon draped over ripe red berries.

An exceptional capacity for ageing.
