Piaff Brut Rose Champagne NV

Champagne Piaff is a relatively new name in Champagne, based near Epernay in the heart of the region, yet it draws on generations of winemaking heritage. The vineyards lie predominantly in the Vallee de la Marne, where clay and limestone soils, combined with a cool continental climate, help preserve acidity and build structure in the wines. What sets Piaff apart is its modern interpretation of Champagne - blending traditional methods with a more expressive, contemporary style. The Brut Rose NV reflects this approach, combining classic Champagne varieties with a slightly more characterful, savoury edge than the typical fruit-forward rose, offering both familiarity and intrigue. Colour: Soft blush pink with a lively, persistent mousse. Nose: Red berries lead - strawberry and cranberry - layered with subtle notes of cassis, bruised apple and a faint earthy, mushroom-like complexity. Palate: Medium-bodied with a fine, creamy mousse. Bright citrus acidity carries flavours of red berries and apple, while underlying savoury and lightly nutty notes add depth. There's a slightly oxidative character that gives the wine a more layered, food-friendly profile. Finish: Dry and lingering, with a mix of red fruit, citrus zest and a gentle, savoury persistence.
