From the vinification in blend of Merlot and Pinot Noir grapes that is born this aristocratic rosé. The harvest takes place at the end of August for Pinot Noir in mid-September for Merlot, at the right level of ripeness of the grapes in order to allow a proper balance between sweetness and sapid structure of the sparkling wine. The vinification provides that the grapes are harvested in crates to avoid the slightest pressing and destemmed gently. Then it is pressed gently and the must obtained is clarified by decanting. The must then ferments at controlled temperature in stainless steel containers and for a part in terracotta containers. The aging of the wine is kept on the yeasts in the fermentation containers.
Characteristics of this rose wine
The wine has a bright salmon pink color. The scent is captivating ranging from floral to mineral. On a tangle of ripe pineapple, apricot and papaya pulp there are hints of gallic rose, raspberry and light cinnamon, with sapid hints of sea stone that make it pleasantly complex. The taste is structured, velvety and wrapping with an acidic texture that brings freshness and persistence. Aromas of currant are perceived in the finish.
