Introduction:
The NV Jean Vesselle Rosé Brut Champagne Oeil de Perdrix is an elegant and distinctive rosé Champagne that reflects the rich Pinot Noir character of Bouzy, a Grand Cru village known for its powerful yet refined wines. The term Oeil de Perdrix ("eye of the partridge") refers to the delicate, pale salmon-pink color achieved through a gentle maceration of Pinot Noir. This Champagne combines depth, freshness, and a subtle, vinous complexity, making it a standout among rosé Champagnes.

Terrior:
Sourced from Bouzy, a renowned Grand Cru village in the Montagne de Reims, the vineyards feature chalky soils that contribute to the wine’s minerality and elegance. Bouzy’s warm, south-facing slopes allow for optimal ripening of Pinot Noir, adding richness and intensity to this unique rosé.

Appearance:
Pale salmon pink with copper highlights and fine, persistent bubbles that create a creamy mousse.

Nose:
Expressive and complex, with aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, and pomegranate, complemented by floral notes of rose petals and hints of toasted brioche, almond, and wet limestone.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with a silky texture and vibrant acidity. Juicy red fruit flavors of raspberry, cranberry, and tart cherry are balanced by a delicate minerality and subtle spice. The vinous character of the Pinot Noir adds depth, while the crisp freshness keeps the wine lively and engaging.

Finish:
Long and elegant, with lingering red fruit, a hint of salinity, and a refined, creamy effervescence.

Overall Impression:
A beautifully balanced and expressive rosé Champagne that showcases the finesse of Bouzy’s Pinot Noir. This wine is perfect for celebratory occasions or as a versatile pairing with smoked salmon, duck, charcuterie, or even lightly spiced Asian cuisine.
