Disgorged in February 2024 with a dosage of 0.8 grams per liter and produced entirely from the 2021 vintage, Adrien Renoir’s NV Rosé d'Assemblage Les 2 Terroirs (2021) is crafted from Pinot Noir grown in clay-rich soils, 95% of which is from Verzy and vinified as Blanc de Noirs, with the addition of 5% still red wine from Verzenay. Combining tension and minerality with vibrant red fruit, it opens with notes of grapefruit, red cherries, redcurrant and spice. Medium to full-bodied, aromatic and incisive, it is a vibrant, bright expression, defined by the cool growing season, with good cut and a saline finish. This fresh style of rosé Champagne is equally at home as an apéritif or paired with a meal.
