FEATURES
The Champagne Jean Vesselle Oeil de Perdrix Brut is a truly distinctive non-vintage rosé Champagne, embodying a traditional style that harks back to the 19th century. The term "Oeil de Perdrix" (eye of the partridge) refers to its delicate, pale salmon-pink hue, achieved through a gentle, brief maceration of Pinot Noir grapes. This method preserves what winemaker Delphine Vesselle describes as the "soul of Pinot Noir." The Vesselle family, with nearly 300 years of history in Bouzy, a Grand Cru village, are champions of Pinot Noir, contributing to the wine's depth and elegance.
This Champagne presents a very pale salmon color with a lovely, lively mousse. The nose offers fresh cut berry, hay, biscuit, pink roses, lavender, wild strawberry, and pomegranate. On the palate, it's zesty and vibrant with slightly tart raspberry, iodine, nutty tones, and fervent acidity, leading to a late grip. It's medium-bodied yet light on the tongue, showcasing elegance, silkiness, and balance, with red berries, stone fruits, and a peppery finish.
Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for a wide array of food pairings. Consider it with charcuterie, various cheeses, clams, mussels, and shrimp. It also beautifully complements shellfish, crab, lobster, smoked salmon, duck, and even lightly spiced Asian cuisine.
🥂 This unique rosé Champagne is perfect for celebratory occasions, as an elegant aperitif, or as a versatile companion for a wide range of culinary experiences, from casual gatherings to more formal dinners. Its historical significance and beautiful color also make it a delightful conversation starter. 【 A unique, traditional "Oeil de Perdrix" (eye of the partridge) style rosé Champagne from Grand Cru Bouzy, preserving the soul of Pinot Noir with a delicate, historical hue 】
