Descrizione

The Champagne Rosé de Saignée Les Velours of M.G. Heucq is born in the heart of the prestigious Champagne region, where tradition meets the art of winemaking. Obtained exclusively with the saignée method, which extracts color and structure directly from prolonged contact with Pinot Noir skins, this rosé stands out for its elegance and aromatic intensity. The main grape variety of this cuvée is indeed Pinot Noir, which gives the wine a full character, supported by hints of ripe red fruits and delicate floral notes. The extended bottle aging helps to balance vibrant freshness with a pleasant creaminess, enhancing a fine and persistent bubble.

On the nose, one can perceive scents of wild strawberries, cherry, and light touches of bread crust, while on the palate it reveals itself harmonious and lively, with a mineral finish. Perfect to accompany dishes based on raw fish, white meats, and fresh cheeses, it is the refined expression of a unique terroir.

Winery history

Four generations of the Heucq family have worked the vineyards in Fleury-la-Rivière. Robert and Paulette expanded the family holding; in 1979 François and Véronique built a pressing center to become récoltant-manipulant and developed commercialization. In 2019 Guillaume and Mélody resumed operations on about 5 hectares, creating the M.G. HEUCQ label and introducing parcel-based vinification and the use of tonneaux.

Production philosophy

Family-run management of all stages — from vineyard to bottle — with a focus on grape quality, winemaking in both stainless steel and wood, low-impact practices and enhancement of the terroir through blends and single-parcel cuvées. The website also states that HVE certification is underway.

Terroir and vineyards

The parcels are located mainly in Fleury-la-Rivière, a limestone terroir formed 45 million years ago and rich in marine fossils. Soils are varied, and the average age of the vines is reported by the producer at around 35 years.
