From Ambonnay’s south-facing Grand Cru slopes, where the Coutier family has farmed since 1619, this rosé carries the character of one of Champagne’s most distinctive terroirs. The chalk beneath a thin layer of clay gives Ambonnay its signature tension — warmer than most of the Montagne de Reims, with a microclimate that builds ripeness without sacrificing freshness. Antoine Coutier’s grandfather was the first to plant Chardonnay in Ambonnay in 1948, a contrarian move that’s now central to the house style.

The rosé uses still red Pinot Noir for color and red-fruit depth; Chardonnay provides the lift and mineral precision. The result is a delicate salmon-colored Champagne with a fine, persistent mousse — expressive on the nose, precise on the finish.
