Descrizione

The Rosé de Saignée by Geoffroy is born in the prestigious Côte des Bars region, a land naturally suited for Pinot Noir, the grape variety central to this refined cuvée. The carefully practiced saignée vinification method involves a brief maceration of the skins, giving the wine an intense salmon color and an aromatic profile characterized by liveliness and finesse. The result is an elegant rosé, with a fresh and complex bouquet, featuring notes of wild strawberries, rose petals, and a delicate spicy touch.

The aging in steel preserves the integrity and purity of the fruit, enhancing softness and a vibrant gustatory balance, marked by a pleasant acidity that invites the next sip. This rosé is perfect for convivial moments, pairing gracefully with slightly spiced fish dishes, summer salads, or delicate white meats. Thanks to its origin from a dedicated area and respect for the Pinot Noir grape variety, the Rosé de Saignée by Geoffroy represents a refined and contemporary example of what Burgundy rosés can express in terms of style and personality.

Winery history

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.
