Le Rosé IGP 2020 1500ml

Wine Description for Le Rosé IGP 2020 1500ml by Chêne Bleu

Colour & Appearance

An elegant, pale mother-of-pearl with silvery reflections that radiates crystalline clarity in the glass.

Nose

The bouquet is an atmospheric journey into a Provençal garden at over 500 metres altitude. It reveals delicate notes of raspberries and small red berries, paired with the freshness of wild mint and cool fruit tea. A subtle, Mediterranean spice of pepper, tomato and paprika lends the nose an intellectual depth that extends far beyond the fruit.

Palate

On the palate, this rosé displays impressive structure and seriousness. The invigorating red berry fruit is carried by an intense, spicy texture. Thanks to partial maturation in wood, it possesses a backbone that lends it an almost aristocratic presence – dry, precise and far removed from inconsequential mainstream fare.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from extreme high-altitude sites (530 metres), which preserves the wine with remarkable freshness and minerality despite the southern sun. The vines are deeply rooted at up to 70 years old and reflect the complexity of their terroir.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A demanding cuvée of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and a touch of Rolle. A portion (20 %) was fermented for four weeks in barriques and demi-muids, which gives the wine its silky texture and ageing potential.

Food Pairing Recommendations

A versatile food companion that does not shy away even from robust flavours. Excellent with grilled lamb fillet with red pepper, lobster in tomato aspic or aubergines marinated in olive oil.

Special Features

In the magnum bottle (1500ml), this wine unfolds its full ageing potential and underscores its credentials as a serious gastronomic rosé.
