Though it’s a private company, Feuillatte is closely tied to Champagne’s largest union o vineyard owners - giving it access to nearly 5,000 acres of vineyards spread throughout the region. Cellarmaster Jean-Pierre Vincent uses a high percentage of Pinot Noir (about 60 percent) to give this robust, strawberry-scented rosé its emphatic character.
