Two Words: Steak Champagne.
RS stands for Rosé de Saignée. This vinous and serious champers consists of 100% old vine Pinot Meunier, yielding a bright and fruity Champagne with serious length and complexity. After harvest, the Pinot Meunier was macerated for a day on its skins with 30% of the juice pressed into barrel for added structure before secondary fermentation.
