Bailly Lapierre Cremant Rose Brut

Caves Bailly Lapierre, based near Auxerre in Burgundy, specializes exclusively in Crémant de Bourgogne, crafting wines in historic underground limestone quarries that provide optimal conditions for ageing. Since its founding in 1972, the house has focused on producing high-quality sparkling wines using the méthode traditionnelle.

The Rosé Brut is typically made primarily from Pinot Noir, with possible inclusion of Gamay depending on the blend. Colour and structure are achieved through brief skin contact or blending with a small portion of still red wine. Secondary fermentation takes place in bottle, followed by lees ageing to develop texture and complexity. The Brut style ensures a dry, balanced profile with bright acidity and refined effervescence.
