Charles Legend
Brut Rosé | Côte des Bar
"Artisanal sophistication: a masterpiece that balances the vibrant freshness of Chardonnay with the fruity structure of Pinot Noir under a philosophy of minimal intervention."
The New Legend of Champagne
Born in the heart of the Côte des Bar, Charles Legend Brut Rosé stands out for its purity. With a significant reduction in sulfites and sugar (low dosage), this Champagne allows the minerality of the terroir to shine through unfiltered. Its coppery salmon color and tiny bubbles are the result of exceptional aging of 3 to 4 years on lees, surpassing conventional standards to offer superior creaminess and finesse.
