Cattier Clos du Moulin Rosé Premier Cru

Clos du Moulin Rosé is Cattier’s rosé interpretation of its most distinctive vineyard asset: the 2.2-hectare walled Clos du Moulin. The site has been central to the house since Jean Cattier bought and restored the neglected vineyard in 1950, with grapes vinified separately from the following harvest. The current rosé is built from 64% Chardonnay and 36% Pinot Noir. Its chronology is equally specific: 65% comes from the 2018 base vintage and 35% from perpetual reserve. That combination gives the wine a clear release identity without turning it into a conventional single-vintage Champagne. Rosé construction is also transparent. Red wine accounts for 18% of the blend, while dosage is 4 g/L. Those figures matter because they show how colour and finishing are handled in this particular release without relying on generic flavour descriptions. Cattier is a family house based in Chigny-les-Roses in the Montagne de Reims, with around 33 hectares of vineyard principally around Chigny-les-Roses, Ludes and Rilly-la-Montagne. Within that broader Premier Cru estate, Clos du Moulin is the most tightly defined terroir story and has been treated as a separate wine for decades. For the buyer, that makes Clos du Moulin Rosé more than simply the pink version of a prestige cuvée. It combines a named enclosed site with a clearly stated blend, an identifiable base vintage and reserve component, and a precise red-wine contribution. Choose Cattier Clos du Moulin Rosé Premier Cru when the vineyard itself is part of the appeal. It offers a more site-specific route into Cattier than the core house wines and rewards buyers who want to understand exactly how the current rosé release is assembled: Chardonnay-led, supported by Pinot Noir, built around 2018 and perpetual reserve, and finished at 4 g/L dosage.
