The "Pur Rosè" Champagne is produced by Maison Morel, located in Les Riceys, in the Côte des Bar. The winery, run by the same family for 5 generations, produces approximately 50,000 bottles per year from 7.5 hectares: an altitude between 160 and 320 meters, with an average vine age of over 25 years.

Les Riceys is the most famous commune in Champagne for the production of rosé wines considered among the best in the world, so much so that highly acclaimed Maisons (including de Venoge) purchase grapes in the area to produce their cuvées. Les Riceys is also the only commune in Champagne where 3 different AOCs can be produced: Champagne AOC, Coteaux Champenois AOC, and the famous Rosé des Riceys AOC, a still rosé wine.

The Cuvèe Pur Rosè is obtained through a maceration of whole grapes, which gives it an extraordinary intensity of color and fruity aromas. Aged for at least 3 years on its lees, it offers a perfect combination of freshness and complexity.

Tasting Notes: On the nose, notes of red fruits such as cherry, sour cherry, strawberry, and raspberry blend with a hint of spice, while on the palate, it presents a soft, rich, and enveloping attack, enchanting with its fruity freshness.

Pairings: Excellent as an aperitif or paired with meat dishes or desserts with red fruits.
