The Rosé with the highest Chardonnay content

How do you make a rosé without altering the Gimonnet style? This wine is vinified primarily from Chardonnay with a hint of Pinot Noir, giving it a pale pink colour and fresh berry fruit aromas. Purists can rest assured: they will rediscover in this wine the signature of Pierre Gimonnet & Fils, defined by purity, freshness, and elegance. “Rosé de Blancs” expresses great Chardonnays, exceptional hosts to a new and fruity note, created by the addition of a hint of Grand Cru Pinot Noir described by the Gimonnet family as «Un Rosé très osé… » (a daring Rosé)
