Gilles Dumangin bottles this delicate, coral-pink rosé Champagne (Rosé de Saignée NV) from 50% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Meunier.
Commended in the 2011 Decanter World Wine Awards.

| Wine Region | Champagne |
| Grape Variety (Cépage) | Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir |
| Viticulture | Non-Organic |

| Cellarage | Non-vintage - a Rosé Champagne to be drunk within a year from disgorgement and final bottling. |
| Vinification | The grapes are harvested from 25-year-old vines and fermented in stainless steel and enamel vats. After the addition of a liqueur de tirage, the wine then rests on its lees for thirty months before disgorging, which takes place approximately three months before the wine is ready for shipping. At this stage a final dosage (of sugar) dictates the dryness of the Champagne and the 'house' style. Rémuage (the process of moving the sediment to the neck of the bottle before disgorgement) takes place manually and on wooden stands. |
| Alcohol By Volume (%) | 12 |
Gilles Dumangin (Champagne J. Dumangin Fils)
Grape growing in the Dumangin family goes back some 350 years - Firmin Dumangin (born in the 1650s) was a viticulteur in the neighbouring village of Ludes. Early in the 21st Century Gilles Dumangin succeeded his father, Jacky, and is a fifth generation Champagne producer. The Dumangin family's tireless efforts to produce the best possible Champagne from their own grapes has been recognised by the prestigious French wine guide, Guide Hachette 2008, which has awarded the Dumangin Grand Réserve a Coup de Cœur.
