Origin

Produced in the Champagne region of France, Jean Vesselle is a well-established house known for its traditional Champagne production methods. The NV Brut Oeil de Perdrix is crafted within this prestigious appellation, adhering to strict regional standards.

Variety

This sparkling rosé is primarily made from Pinot Noir grapes, which is typical for the "Oeil de Perdrix" style, known for its delicate pink hue reminiscent of the partridge’s eye.

Production

The NV Brut Oeil de Perdrix is produced using the traditional Champagne method (Méthode Champenoise), involving a secondary fermentation in the bottle to develop its fine bubbles. The wine undergoes careful blending and aging on lees to enhance complexity and texture before disgorgement and dosage to achieve the brut style.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Pale salmon pink with fine, persistent bubbles.
  • Aroma: Fresh red berries, subtle floral notes, and hints of citrus zest.
  • Palate: Crisp and lively with balanced acidity, flavors of strawberry and raspberry, complemented by a delicate minerality and a dry, refreshing finish.

Food pairings

  • Ideal with seafood dishes such as oysters, shrimp, and smoked salmon.
  • Pairs well with light appetizers, fresh salads, and soft cheeses like goat cheese or brie.
  • Excellent accompaniment to Asian cuisine, including sushi and sashimi.
  • Can also be enjoyed as an aperitif or with light poultry dishes.
