More questions
The Rosé de Saignée - Geoffroy - Magnum, presented in Magnum format, comes from the renowned Champagne region, the beating heart of exceptional sparkling wine production. This rosé stands out for being made with the saignée technique, a traditional method that involves a short maceration of black grapes to extract a more intense color and a deeper structure compared to rosés obtained from blending.
The main grape variety used is Pinot Noir, which imparts elegance and aromatic complexity, balanced by the typical freshness of the area. The long aging on the lees enriches the wine with subtle notes of bread crust and ripe fruit, while a fine and persistent effervescence enhances the drinkability.
The nose opens with aromas of wild strawberries, cherries, and rose petals, which translate on the palate into a pleasant harmony between vibrant acidity and warmth. Perfect to pair with fish dishes, white meats, or as a refined aperitif, the Rosé de Saignée - Geoffroy - Magnum is an intense and precious sensory experience, ideal for moments of celebration and conviviality.

The story
The Geoffroy family has cultivated vineyards in the Vallée de la Marne since the 17th century. In the early 1950s Roger Geoffroy began bottling under his own name. Management then passed to René and later to Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy, who moved the winemaking and commercial operations to Aÿ in 2008. The house has grown while remaining family-run and involving the next generation.
Production philosophy
Production aims to respect the soil and the vineyard’s expression: minimal vineyard work and winemaking conducted parcel by parcel. In the cellar, priority is given to traditional pressing, gravity transfers and choices intended to preserve freshness. Blending and dosage are decided to enhance the wine’s natural balance.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyard covers 14 hectares, divided into plots across the hills of Damery, Hautvillers, Fleury-la-Rivière and, notably, Cumières, a village classified Premier Cru in the Vallée de la Marne. The land is fragmented into numerous clos and parcels that provide diverse varietal expressions typical of the region.
