Sebastian Girost Rose de Saignee Champagne
Some wines don’t so much arrive as appear — like a sudden blush, like the sky catching fire at dusk. Sébastien Girost’s Rosé de Saignée is one of those rare moments in glass: vivid, pulsing, and impossibly alive.
This isn’t rosé for the faint of heart. It’s Pinot Noir pressed with intention, not haste — a saignée in the truest sense, drawn off from maceration with all its color, structure, and soul intact. Wild strawberries, blood orange, and crushed herbs lead the charge, wrapped in a savory shimmer of spice and stone.
There’s a tactile richness here — the mousse is firm, the fruit layered, the finish bracing and long. Nothing polished, nothing glossed over. Just a wine with backbone and mood, like a poem scribbled in the margins.
It’s Champagne that pairs with moonlight, with bold flavors, with quiet rebellion. Best served slightly chilled, with grilled duck, or dim lights, or both.
