Charles Legend
Brut Rosé | Signature Champagne
"Seduction and balance: a masterpiece of delicacy where the freshness of Chardonnay embraces the fruity and structured soul of Pinot Noir."
The Art of Fruity Seduction
The Brut Rosé from Charles Legend is the result of a meticulous blend that seeks harmony between two worlds. Pinot Noir (60-70%) provides the structure, body, and that seductive salmon color, while Chardonnay (30-40%) injects the elegance and finesse characteristic of the house. With patient aging of 3 to 4 years on lees, this signature rosé develops a luminous bubble that caresses the palate, revealing a complexity that goes beyond fresh fruit.
