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.
