Champagne Petit & Bajan, Cuvee Nymphea Rose Grand Cru

AOC Champagne- Grand Cru

Concentrated, rich sparkling wine


With its beautiful salmon pink color and bold copper highlights, Nymphea showcases those delicious bubbles. First, you smell the aromas of meringue and viennoiserie. Then, flavors of cooked cherry, strawberry, rhubarb, and raspberry emerge.

On the palate it is initially pleasantly round and sensual thanks to the fruitiness of the Pinot Noir, but then it bursts into freshness and vibrancy thanks to the natural elegance of the Chardonnay.

This wine is full of character. It pairs well with duck breast!

Winemaker

Petit & Bajan is run by Richard and Veronique. They began their apprenticeship with their parents but quickly realized they truly wanted to make their own wine. So they do. Since 2008, they've pursued their own path, and every year they find ways to improve and optimize their process. They make Champagne exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards in Avize and Verzenay. As they say themselves, they make wine without compromising on quality.
What's unique is that they pick their grapes very late, one to two weeks later than their neighbors. This is to ensure the grapes reach their peak sugar level, so they don't need to add any sugar later in the process.
