Gault & Millau
"This unusual rosé, a blend of rosé de saignée and white wine, reveals a fruity, floral nose. The jovial palate incorporates a sensitive chewiness of fresh, spicy red fruit and offers a somewhat tannic finish. Enjoy with duck and Montmorency cherries". (Le Guide Gault et Millau des Vins 2021) In its new guise, this cuvée remains true to the much-loved Empreinte de Terroir rosé!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine noté Sélectionné (An estate or house that has won us over with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the domain :
In the heart of the Côte de Sézanne, brothers Vincent, Thomas and Florent Collet have given new impetus to the family domaine since the turn of the century, on the 15 parcels around Fontaine-Denis. The cuvées are of good quality, and the Anthime range, which claims to be aged in wood, stands out from the rest.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
In the early 20th century, the Collet family sold their grapes to the wine trade. René Collet, a cooperative member, launched his champagne in 1973. His 3 sons, Thomas, Vincent and Florent, set up between 2001 and 2011, and decided to produce their own cuvées. They have 5 hectares of vines in the Sézannais region.

About the wine:
This unusual rosé, a blend of rosé de saignée and white wine, reveals a fruity, floral nose. On the palate, it's jovial, with a sensitive chewiness of fresh, spicy red fruit and a somewhat tannic finish. Enjoy with duck and Montmorency cherries.
About the domain :
The story of Domaine Collet is a beautiful one: born into a modest family of winemaker-farmers from Fontaine-Denis, it was quite simply in 1973 that René Collet decided to create his own brand. With the help of a large cooperative, he developed the estate through the acquisition and planting of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines, ideally located in the Fontaine-Denis area. The early 2000s brought changes: two of Mr. Collet's three sons joined the company, and a new winery and barrel cellar were built.
