## About this wine

R. Dumont Rosé Brut is a Non-Vintage sparkling rosé from the Champagne AOC, produced by R. Dumont & Fils. The estate is a family-owned grower producer with over two centuries of history, located in the Aube district of southern Champagne. Their vineyards are characterized by kimmeridgian chalky clay soils. The producer emphasizes bio-dynamic farming practices and is in the process of obtaining organic certification. This approach, combined with their exclusive use of estate-grown grapes, distinguishes their winemaking.

## Interesting facts

- Vineyards are situated at altitudes up to 350 meters.
- Soils are similar to those found in Chablis.
- Producer is in conversion to organic certification.
- Family has over 200 years of winemaking history.

## Food pairing

The wine's medium body and rounded texture make it versatile. Its potential for subtle fruit notes and bright acidity can cut through richer dishes, while its structure can stand up to more substantial proteins.

## Wine making process

R. Dumont Rosé Brut is produced using grapes from R. Dumont & Fils' own vineyards. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to maintain aromatic freshness. The wine undergoes a significant aging period of two years on its lees before disgorgement, contributing to its structure and complexity. The producer follows bio-dynamic farming methods and is in the process of converting to organic certification.
