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