Getting into the heart of the summer now, so we go again to the seemingly bottomless well of good roses that grace the market. We’ve had this treasure waiting patiently in the wings, but now it’s time to let it fly. This is an “oh-so-approachable”, juicy and refreshing wine that will delight rose enthusiasts and others that haven’t yet joined the party.
From an organically-farmed estate (Bertrand is the fifth generation of his familyto run things there) in the western part of the Languedoc, they source old vine Syrah(70%) andCinsault for this bottling. Spontaneous fermentations and brief aging in stainless steel and concrete vats ensure maximum freshness and clean aromatics here.
Pale salmon pink in color, the nose shows floral notes (orange blossoms) that frame lovely cherry and watermelon aromas. The palate is a pleasing balance of succulent fruit and lively, racy acidity. Gulpable and fresh, this is all one can want in a southern French rose. Serve with all sorts of summery stuff…grilled langoustines, scallops, sardines, charcuterie, seafood risotto and Paella.
