Champagne Rousseaux Batteux Blanc de Noirs

This Champagne is a 100% Pinot Noir Blanc de Noirs crafted by the family domaine Rousseaux-Batteux, located in Verzenay in the Montagne de Reims. Adrien Rousseaux currently leads the estate, representing the fourth generation of winemakers in the family, with roots stretching back to the early 20th century.

The grapes come from Grand Cru vineyards across Verzenay, Verzy, and Louvois. The cuvée typically blends two consecutive vintages—most often 2020 and 2021—in approximately equal parts. These wines are vinified in oak barrels and aged on the lees for around 24 months before disgorgement, resulting in subtle richness and complexity. The dosage lands in the Extra Brut range (around 5–6 g/L).

Tasting notes paint a vivid picture: the color leans toward straw-yellow with a hint of gold. On the nose, expect aromas of ripe white fruit, wildflowers, pastry and a delicate candied pear or lemon peel. The palate is creamy yet fresh, with a refined tension, savory length, and a chalky minerality
