Champagne Franck Pascal "Reliance" Rosé Brut Nature

Champagne Reliance from Franck Pascal is a biodynamically produced, zero-dosage (Brut Nature) sparkling wine from the Vallée de la Marne. It typically features a high proportion of Pinot Meunier (around 70–79%), alongside Pinot Noir and a small amount of Chardonnay.

The parcels farmed, certified organic since 2002 (and biodynamic since before), span over seven villages near Baslieux-sous-Châtillon. Winemaking is very natural, indigenous yeasts only, extended lees aging (typically around seven years), minimal sulfur, and no fining, filtering, or sugar additions.

Reviews highlight its finesse and complexity. Amathus Drinks notes aromas of apple pie, pear, nuts, honey, alongside a very fine, lingering mousse and bright acidity.
