✨ Technical Specifications
Brut Dargent Pinot Noir Ice Demi-Sec is an off-dry sparkling rosé vinified under the Vin Mousseux de France classification by Maison du Vigneron, part of Les Grands Chais de France. Sourced predominantly from cool-climate French Pinot Noir parcels, the base wine undergoes brief skin contact to achieve its soft pink hue before cool temperature fermentation in stainless steel. Secondary fermentation is typically executed via the Charmat (tank) method to preserve primary red fruit freshness and brisk carbonation. Tailored for service over ice, the dosage is calibrated to a Demi-Sec level (around 35–45 g/L residual sugar), counteracting dilution while maintaining vivid acidity without wood aging.
